Hi Everyone, 
 
Im encountering a strange problem here, i have a Clearcase machine and
i've made a python script which is fired by a clearcase trigger when a
'checkin' operation occurs on the Clearcase server. Here the python
script will get all the committed file info and dumps the info into the
DB. 
 
When i do a checkin in clearcase like (cleartool ci file1) it works
fine, but the problem occurs when i do a 
1) directory checkin (like cleartool ci directory_name) 
or 
2) checkin using dot(.) (like cleartool ci .) 
 
Here if there are 3 modified files and 2 new files, clearcase picks up
all the files (new and modified) but on the Python side it doesnt give
any file names, just gives dot(.). 
 
Now my question is when a user does a checkin like (cleartool ci .) how
do i pick the filenames, usernames from my python script..?? 
 
The python script is as follows: 
 
#!/usr/bin/python 
 
import sys, os, os.path, local, re,time 
 
commit_msg = os.getenv('CLEARCASE_COMMENT') 
cc_user = os.getenv('CLEARCASE_USER') 
operation = os.getenv('CLEARCASE_OP_KIND') 
eltype = os.getenv('CLEARCASE_ELTYPE') 
file_name = os.getenv('CLEARCASE_PN') 
 
project_name = sys.argv[1:] 
 
#if eltype == 'directory': 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; #sys.exit(0) 
 
if operation == 'checkin': 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; files = [] 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ## Loop the file names 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for file in file_name: 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if file: 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; parts = string.split(file, ':') 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; files.append({'name':parts[0], 'version':parts[1],
'old_version':parts[2]}) 
 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print file_name 
 
Thanks in advance
