Hi,

Running the following vbscript to call svnadmin dump fails (i.e. no dump is being created)

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objShellExec = objShell.Exec("svnadmin dump  C:\svn_repos > C:\fullbackup")

I discovered from another post, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/445121/svn-dump-fails-with-wscript-shell/2400011#2400011 that i had to create a new command interpreter using cmd as follows:

Set objShellExec = objShell.Exec("%comspec% /c" & "svnadmin dump  C:\svn_repos > C:\fullbackup")

This successfully created the dump but I could never read the output information (i.e. * Dumped revision 100. * Dumped revision 101. etc). I tried

Do While objWshScriptExec.Status = 0
    Wscript.Echo objShellExec.StdOut.Readline
    Wscript.Echo objShellExec.StdErr.Readline
    WScript.Sleep 100
Loop

but nothing ever gets displayed.

May I know how i can read the output information and also why I needed to create a new command interpreter using "%comspec% /c" before the svnadmin dump command would execute correctly? Thanks.

Regards, Dexton
