Cancel svn files by file template

Question

I am trying to find a command (maybe bash command) to return a group of svn files.

Let's say I have some changes in my registration, and I run svn st and get this output:

 My-MacBook-2:trunk aetzioni$ svn st M SomeFolderA/src/main/java/com/mycompany/package/classA.java M SomeFolderA/main/java/com/mycompany/package/classB.java M SomeFolderB/src/main/java/com/mycompany/package/classC.java 

Now I want to find a command that does svn revert for all files under SomeFolderA .

I tried something like this:

 svn st | grep SomeFolderA | svn revert 

But this error message turned out:

 svn: Try 'svn help' for more info svn: Not enough arguments provided 

Answer 1

How I did this by creating this command:

 svn st | grep SomeFolderA | awk {'print $2'} | xargs svn revert 

Explanation:

• svn st - find all modified file
• grep SomeFolderA - Filters svn output only to display strings having SomeFolderA
• awk {'print $2'} - removes M at the beginning of each output line
• xargs svn revert - the xargs command uses the output from the previous command and passes it, as it is, to the svn revert
