Thanks, guess another one for the Wish list! It would be nice to have a variable that collects only the Target path for each file copied. But more then 10 copied files, ALL files copied. like VV_ALL_COPIED_FILES. Even better would be to just capture the file, and not the entire path. I am feeding a HTML form with a list of all files copied, but the VV_COPIED_FILES variable only holds 10 copied items, and it contains the Source and Target paths, with other text as well.

I was able to write a VBScript that parses out the log file. It captures each individual file name that was copied, where it came from, where it was copied to, and in my case where it was versioned to. With no duplicate paths listed. The output is sent to a HTML form. One script fires off the Tortoise SVN Commit screens, once the Commit is done, It fires off the parsing script which fills out the HTML form. Once that is displayed, it prompts you to Delete the files from it's Source location.

That sounds great! How do you identify lines in the log pertaining to a copied file entry? thanks

Using a VBScript,

1) I read through each line of the log file
2) In a loop, as i read each line, and check to see if "Copying file" and "<to>" is in the string.
3) If it finds those two strings, it creates an array, delimited with a "|"
4) Then I assign a variable, using the Split command, I split on the "|" delimiter. That gives me a variable that contains the single string that has both the Copied file and <to> strings, the Source and Target.
5) Then in another loop on the above array, I do two more Splits, 1) assign a variable splitting on the <to>, then creating an array delimited by a "|". Now I have a array with all the Target paths! 2) assign a variable splitting on "Copying File", then creating an array delimited by a "|". Now I have a array with all the Source paths which includes the file names.
6) I then assign two more variables, using the Split command on the above two arrays, splitting on the "|". creating an array that contains all the Source paths, and another array containing only the Target paths. When I build those arrays, I check to see if the path is already in the list, if it is, I only add it to the list once. That way if you had a bunch of pairs Source/Target, and they all come from the same Source, you are not getting duplicate paths listed.
7) I then build a HTML page with a table and cells, and I output those arrays into the HTML output.
Cool At the end of the script I prompt the user if he wants to Delete the files from the Source location. If Yes, I loop through that Source array I created above and delete the items.

Works pretty slick! Gave a demo and got rave reviews! Love ViceVersa!!

Pretty smart! Very Happy

Also <to> can't happen in any file name , because < and > are not allowed in files or paths on Windows, which guarantees the split will always work. Well done! Cool

Exactly! I'm still testing, but I haven't got it to fail yet!
