Forgot “$” before “(shell svnversion -n .)” in the 1st example.
A good tip though.
Thanx.

Looks like a good tool even though it doesn’t work on Linux. The same thing (having a template of keywords and an output file) can be accomplished by using a build utility such as “make” or “ant”. I actually have a working version of the ant build, which I can post if you are interested. I will have to look into how to do it using “make” but it shouldn’t be hard.

Hi,
I found out about SubWCRev. It is part of TortoiseSVN. It make it much easier to get rev information. Of course it only appears to run on windows. On the bright side, it does give the highest SVN number of all your files — so its a bit more sophisticated than the other methods.
Thought you might be interested.
