LabVIEW
Control SVN using LabVIEW
Hi Padugur,
you should tell us what you want to achieve!
Do you want to use SVN to control your LabVIEW sources? Then use one of those SVN toolkits available at VIPM!
Or do you want to remote control SVN to have version control of other files?
Yes there are a couple of SVN toolkits, the JKI version isn't free as far as I know but the ViewPoint one is and works pretty well with QuickDrop integration. They use a DLL and I think .NET to interface with Subversion. The command line stuff is an option but is a bit clunky and error prone.
I "hacked" getting some SVN Information in order to try to set the SVN Version into the LabVIEW Executable "Build" part of the Version string, as described in this Idea Exchange article here. What the code posted there does not show is the Hack, which I called "SVN Build". Here's how it works:
- If you use Tortoise SVN, you need to install Tortoise with the Command Line option turned on (I think it is the second or third option, off by default). This lets you issue a System Call to "subwcrev", Subversion Working Copy Revision.
- Pass the Project Path (not the Project Rath, stupid typo) in to get the folder holding the Project, which gets passed as a command argument to the "subwcrev" command.
- Split the returning Standard Output String (which will have several lines) into an Array, breaking it at the New Line. There are various ways to do this, I wrote a little sub-VI, you can do the same or be more clever.
- If you look at the Standard Output, you'll see you want the last "word" on the second line, which is the last Commit. Isolate the second Line (second Array entry), split at spaces, and get the last Array entry (= last word), which I do using Delete from Array. That string should be the Last Commit.
If you need other data, you can use the other Subversion command line functions and parse them in a similar manner.

I also tried using the TSVN tool kit .This is the Tool kit to control LabVIEW module of it own .
Kindly let me know urgently

Do you mean you want to use LabVIEW as an SVN shell like TSVN? Unless this is just for personal growth in LabVIEW programming, I would just stick to TSVN for your SVN shell.
