Your echoing set values for your variables.
If you don't want to display OldRep and NewRepo if empty, you need to program for that.

Quote:
for i in `cat ${wcfiles}`
Your main problem is this line. A "for" statement is unsuitable for open-ended lists and totally unsuitable for a list of filenames containing space characters (like yours). What happens is each space-separated piece of the filename gets treated as a separate field.


Replace with a "while" loop:
Code:
cat "${wcfiles}" | while read i
do

Not checked the rest of the script.

not that it matters but here is the code that creates the input file
Code:
cd ${bldDirLoc}
find . -type d -exec sh -c '[ -d "$1"/.svn ] || exit 1' sh {} \; -print | cat > ${OutputLoc}/dnaRelwc.txt
`cat ${OutputLoc}/dnaRelwc.txt` | sort -u | sed '$!N; /^\(.*\)\n\1$/!P; D' | sed 's/^.\{2\}//g' | cat > ${OutputLoc}/dnaRelwc1.dat

Not knowing how you changed your loop. (Using original code provided)
I think this is what you want but this whole script is not very efficient..

Code:
for i in `cat ${wcfiles}`
do
    OldRepo=`grep svn01g.gdc ${i}/.svn/entries | tail -1 | tr -d '\n'`
    NewRepo=`grep svn01g.gdc ${i}/.svn/entries | tail -1 | sed '/svn01g.gdc/ s/svn01g.gdc/svnprod/g' | sed 's/\/svn01p//g' | sed 's/\/Repositories//g'`
    
  if [[ $OldRepo -ne "" ]]
  then
      echo "cd" $i
      echo -e "${svnRelcmd}  ${OldRepo}  ${NewRepo}\c"
   fi

done

the while loop that replaced the for loop:
Code:
cat "${wcfiles}" | while read i
do

I agree I am not a programmer. Only started ksh scripts a few years back and not too often.
My goal was to quickly build a script to run svn relocate in over 5000 working copy locations, without manually editing the file. I am almost needing to do just that anyway at this rate.

But I do appreciate the help I am learning as we go.

adding your if statement results in a list of NewRepo only

I guess I don't understand what you are expecting in your output.
Let's step back and try to determine what you are expecting in your output.

Your sample output...
Code:
.
.
svn relocate  cd ALPS_COM/COM Data Layer/Release
svn relocate  cd ALPS_COM/COM Utilities
svn relocate  cd ALPS_COM/MSI
.
.

When OldRepo is null or NewRepo is null, what do you want to display?
Other than the condition above, is the output correct?
# 28  
Old 02-22-2012
output wanted:

cd /PATH
svn relocate OldRepo NewRepo

Code:
example
cd AgentWebPages/AgentWebPages/Source/Distrib
svn relocate https://svn01g.gdc.nwie.net/svn01p/svn/Repositories/ePDS2 https://svnprod.nwie.net/svn/ePDS2

Seems to work except when Input file has spaces in the PATH/directory Name/
