Hi.

This one (or #1) would be correct:

Code:
3. if[ "$dev_found" != "" ] then

But should look like this:
Code:
3. if [ "$dev_found" != "" ]; then

Script not working as desired

Reborg, Sorry to bother you. I have tried the code you suggested and it's not creating new files after they satisfy the criteria. If any of the files don't satisfy the criteria it should not create the files at all. Please see my output below. (39 Replies)

svn::hooks::checkmimetypes

SVN::Hooks::CheckMimeTypes(3pm) 			User Contributed Perl Documentation			   SVN::Hooks::CheckMimeTypes(3pm)

NAME

       SVN::Hooks::CheckMimeTypes - Require the svn:mime-type property.

VERSION

       version 1.19

SYNOPSIS

       This SVN::Hooks plugin checks if the files added to the repository have the svn:mime-type property set. Moreover, for text files, it checks
       if the properties svn:eol-style and svn:keywords are also set.

       The plugin was based on the check-mime-type.pl <http://svn.digium.com/view/repotools/check-mime-type.pl> script.

       It's active in the "pre-commit" hook.

       It's configured by the following directive.

   CHECK_MIMETYPES([MESSAGE])
       This directive enables the checking, causing the commit to abort if it doesn't comply.

       The MESSAGE argument is an optional help message shown to the user in case the commit fails. Note that by default the plugin already
       inserts a rather verbose help message in case of errors.

	       CHECK_MIMETYPES("Use TortoiseSVN -> Properties menu option to set properties.");
