SVN Export Problem with special characters in the folder name

[Dave Krekel]

I am running the following command in an automated build batch process.

This command does not work when there is embedded period in the source folder name.

svn export "http://svnserver01.aanet.aaagrp.com/svn/aaa_base_code/trunk/project/Third Party/CARSHOTS.NET" "c:\temp\svntesting\Third Party\CARSHOTS.NET"

This command does work when there are embedded blanks and dashes in the folder name.

svn export "http://svnserver01.aanet.aaagrp.com/svn/aaa_base_code/trunk/project/Third Party/CARSHOTS - Reg" "c:\temp\svntesting\Third Party\CARSHOTS - Reg"

Any ideas on how to get around this issue?

Thanks

A dot needs to be encoded in an url:

http://svnserver01.aanet.aaagrp.com/svn/aaa_base_code/trunk/project/Third Party/CARSHOTS%2ENET

Good suggestion.

I thought that would do the trick as well.

But when I tried that I go the following error.

C:\Temp>svn export "http://svnserver01.aanet.aaagrp.com/svn/aaa_base_project/trunk/project/Third Party/CARSHOTS%2ENET" "c:\temp\svntesting\Third Party\CARSHOTS.NET"

svn: E170000: URL 'http://svnserver01.aanet.aaagrp.com/svn/aaa_base_project/trunk/project/Third%20Party/CARSHOTS.NET' doesn't exist 

I have the following version installed on my build machine.

TortoiseSVN 1.9.4, Build 27285 - 64 Bit , 2016/04/24 13:59:58

Subversion 1.9.4, -release

apr 1.5.2

apr-util 1.5.4

serf 1.3.8

OpenSSL 1.0.2g  1 Mar 2016

zlib 1.2.8

SQLite 3.12.1

Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Dave

not sure, but since you're trying this in a batch file: the % char in batch files is special, so you might need to escape that as well: %%2E

if that doesn't work either: does it work with TSVN? If yes, you should maybe ask for help on the svn users list since this is about the command line client.
