question about findstr

[thinktwice]

i want to get the subversion revision number of my workingcopy.
(subversion is something like vss or cvs)

i find the revision number keeps in the "entries" file in the ".svn"
dir, it's format like this:
8dirxxxxhttp://
url...............................................................
.......................................................................................

i want to get the xxxx part , xxxx is a number. i think maybe it'll
change the format a little,like change 8 to other higher number. so i
want to search [1-9][0-9]*[a-z][1-9][0-9]* pattern. but i'm not
familiar how to use regularexpression in findstr. is there advanced
tutorial or example about how to use findstr?

svn.exe might be a more reliable solution (in the zip file downloadable
from
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/41094/svn-win32-1.4.6.zip)

for example:-

svn ls -v [filename]
