This gets you the revision number of the trunk:

Code:

svn info http://****.svn.mhf.mhc/svn/sbb/sbb/trunk | grep "Last Changed Rev:" | rev | cut -d ' ' -f 1

You can capture that into a variable like this:

Code:

VERSION=$(svn info http://****.svn.mhf.mhc/svn/sbb/sbb/trunk | grep "Last Changed Rev:" | rev | cut -d ' ' -f 1)

Many thanks for ur help.

I need to take a back up of latest revision code into a temp folder which is already exists.
If that temp folder is not available already then the command itself should create the folder and take a back up of latest code.

Can you please help me withe the above task?

regards
kani

It could just be me, but wouldn't that be at least 4 requirements?

Also, 'immediate' help comes when you pay someone. Please try not to demand help as this is done voluntarily.

Dugan ,

It is saying that svn is not a commman in bash scripts.

You will need to check that svn is installed on your machine and remedy if not. As for the other steps in your requirement, first show your attempt at a solution and we will further assist in a solution.

No one is going to do the work (perhaps homework) for you.
