TortoiseSVN export by command line?

[cking]

I'm trying to export my SVN directory to another directory with a script, so that I can assign it to a macro in Crimson Editor.

This is what I have:
"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe" /command:export /path:"c:\Workspace\project\trunk\" /url:"c:\Temp\" /notempfile /closeonend:1

When I run that, I get the dialog box asking where I want to export to. I'd love to automate that.

I've tried "/url:" and "/exportpath:" and even another "/path:"

Is there some way to set the export path in the command line for TortoiseSVN?

Thanks.

Point well-taken.

I'll try it with the plain version of SVN.

Thanks.

The documentation for the SVN export command says it only exports the versioned files. TortoiseSVN's export command can be used to export all files. Sometimes you need to export all the files, not just the versioned files.

i.e: A resultant directory that also contains static 3rd party redistributables, that aren't included in the SVN. Or that contains log files that change too often to bother adding them to the SVN.

My requirement was to automatically create a zip file with each days progress and have it sent to a testing center. I didn't want to include any of the .SVN files in the zip file.

The TortoiseProc export command would have been perfect, but since it offers no way to be used from an unattended batch file (it always pops a dialog box). I couldn't easily use it (without writing software to answer the dialog box prompts).

The solution I came up with, is to use the Window's XCopy command, with the /EXCLUDE switch.

The /EXCLUDE switch requires a file (or files) containing strings. If the XCopy command encounters a file or directory name that contains one of the strings from the /EXCLUDE switch file(s), it will skip the file or directory.

To copy my resultant directory I did the following:

1. I created a text file called C:\No.SVN.txt, with only one line, ".svn" in it.

2. I had the nightly batch file use an XCopy command like this one to do the export.

I wanted to do this too.

This worked for checkout:

cd C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin
TortoiseProc.exe /command:checkout /url:"<<your repository url>>" /path:"<<your working copy path>>" /closeonend:1 /notempfile

Most other commands are possible too , see tortoise help: mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseSVN_en.chm::/tsvn-automation.html

Right.. Just saw TheCatcher's comments. It requires clicking OK to each dialog, so wont work for unattended automation..
