Pseudo Off Topic Question about perforce.

I am using Perforce on the command line and I have a question.

I have been asked to "revert" a change that I made

I figure that that is no problem. I go to a command line interface and I log into perforce. Then I type:

p4 revert "the version number" "the filename with path"

Of course I gave it the actual version number to revert and the actual filename with path.

It gave me two errors:

"the version number" - file(s) not opened on this client.
"the filename with path" - file(s) not opened on this client.

"the version number" - file(s) not opened on this client.

What little I know of Perforce is it will only let the user work with files that are defined in the users client spec.

So I would guess this message suggests to me your client spec is not configured to include the files you are trying to revert :?

But I would a suspect you would also get a better answer if you posted this question on the Perforce forum.
