SVN Diff Command

Hello,

 

I am trying to use the SVN diff command to compare a single file whose
filename contains spaces. Here is an example of the command I am using:

 

 

c:\SVN_ABT\build-tool>svn diff -r 236  --old
http://thcmp4ap1/test_ActionOI/ActionOI/aoih_03_00_00_004
"doc/InstallDocs/frontend/AppInstall/How to build -EBI.doc" --new
http://thcmp4ap1/test_ActionOI/ActionOI/trunk
"doc/InstallDocs/frontend/AppInstall/How to build -EBI.doc"

 

Here is the error I receive:

 

svn: URL
'http://thcmp4ap1/test_ActionOI/ActionOI/trunk/doc/InstallDocs/frontend

/AppInstall/How to build -EBI.doc' is malformed or the scheme or host or
path is

 Missing

 

Any suggestions?

Enclose the WHOLE URL in quotes.

You have: http://thcmp4ap1/test_ActionOI/ActionOI/aoih_03_00_00_004
"doc/InstallDocs/frontend/AppInstall/How to build -EBI.doc"

You should have:
"http://thcmp4ap1/test_ActionOI/ActionOI/aoih_03_00_00_004
doc/InstallDocs/frontend/AppInstall/How to build -EBI.doc"

Alternately, you could URL-encode the spaces, replacing them with %20.
