Perl or shell script
Hi!



Time and again I have to tag my app configs. I want a script which can automate this process.



1)First I do a svn info to get a list of configs which are pointing to BRANCHES/TAGS


Code:
svn info * |grep URL

 

URL: http://svn.com/qbo/library/General/GeneralConfiguration/BRANCHES/2011-05
URL: http://svn.com/qbo/library/Core/CoreConfiguration/BRANCHES/2011-05
URL: http://svn.com/qbo/library/signup/signupProcessorConfiguration/BRANCHES/2011-05
URL: http://svn.com/qbo/library/signup/signupStatusConfiguration/BRANCHES/2011-05
URL: http://svn.com/qbo/library/signup/signupingConfiguration/BRANCHES/2011-05
URL: http://svn.com/qbo/library/web/WebConfiguration/TAGS/2011-05-1



2)Now I basically find out if there are existing TAGS for the these configs with the same TAG as that I am hoping to create .



3) Thirdly I create them -



Code:
svn cp http://svn.com/qbo/library/Core/CoreConfiguration/BRANCHES/2011-05 http://svn.com/qbo/library/Core/CoreConfiguration/TAGS/2011-05-1

....



IF TAGS/2011-05-1 exists then I create a TAGS/2011-05-2 tag.



I want to automate this in a way so that the script can check the existence of a tag and if it does not exists then create one or increment to the next number if there is already one created.



Thanks,

Allan.

Is your sequence a full date (YYYY-MM-DD)?

---------- Post updated at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:55 PM ----------

Assuming that the sequence is not a day, but a regular number:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
typeset -i mCnt=1
mPref='./tags/2011-05-'
mFName=${mPref}${mCnt}
while [[ -a ${mFName} ]]; do
  mCnt=${mCnt}+1
  mFName=${mPref}${mCnt}
done
echo "New File <$mFName>"
