RE: Getting HEAD revision number from a URL

FYI: here is my final solution (for svn client on WinXP with PERL):

svn log -q -v -rHEAD <URI> | perl -nle "if(m/^r(\d+)/){~s/^r(\d+).*/set HeadRev=$1/;print;}"

I pipe the output to a batch script and run the script to set HeadRev=##

Thanks again to all who responded.

>Thanks to all for the help. I resolved my own issue of not having the -r before HEAD... Works great now. David, I like your perl script as it is a little neater (shorter) than mine.
