Reverting a unsubmitted changelist after shelving p4

Question

I have a changelist with large number of files. I have to work on other request so I shelved the changes using p4 shelve -c 899. But when I do a p4 opened the files are still showing up in workspace.

Since the number is large I want to revert all files at once. I have tried p4 revert -c 899 * but this didn't work(by * it is taking all files in current directory rather than the changelist).

How can this be done?

Try saying `p4 revert -c 899 //depot/...` instead. `*` is a wildcard; it'd match all files in the current directory. — devnull, Feb 01 '14 at 07:32
@devnull could you explain the command. Anyways it says: "//depot/... - file(s) not in client view." — Aman Deep Gautam, Feb 01 '14 at 08:06

From the root of your client, do:

p4 revert -c 899 .... This will revert all open files in the current directory and in all subdirectories that are in changeset 899.
