How to use "svn export" command to get a single file from the repository?


Guessing from your directory name, you are trying to access the repository on the local filesystem. You still need to use URL syntax to access it:

svn export file:///e:/repositories/process/test.txt c:\test.txt


You don't have to do this locally either. You can do it through a remote repository, for example:

svn export http://<repo>/process/test.txt /path/to/code/


For the substition impaired here is a real example from GitHub.com to a local directory:

svn ls https://github.com/rdcarp/playing-cards/trunk/PumpkinSoup.PlayingCards.Interfacessvn export https://github.com/rdcarp/playing-cards/trunk/PumpkinSoup.PlayingCards.Interfaces /temp/SvnExport/Washburn
