Is it possible to do a SVN update from command window / m-files?

Is there any "SVN-update from repository" command that can be used from command window? The only thing I find in the documentation is the "right click and choose Source control --> SVN update" or similar.

I don't think there is.

If you're on Windows, I would just install TortoiseSVN and invoke the command line tools that come with it:

%once TortoiseSVN and command line tools are installed:
system(['svn update ', pwd])

I have done same thing what you here wrote but the problem is when I write :

system (['svn update',pwd])

I got answer like that:

Unknown subcommand: 'updateC:\Users\Arpeet\Desktop\matlab'

Type 'svn help' for usage.

ans =

1

Is that right or wrong?

system (['svn update'])

the answer :

Updating '.':

At revision 9.

ans =

0

but Boolean expression 0 is false and 1 is true.

Arpeet, in your first example, it looks as if you didn't leave a space after svn update. A more up-to-date way of writing this might be

system(sprintf('svn update %s', pwd))

If you look at the help for system you'll see that it returns a status of 0 if the command executed successfully, or a non-zero value if it encountered an error.

Maybe a little late answer for you, but this code might help anybody that wants to perform SVN-operations from the command line. The code make use of the already built-in subversion support (SVNKit) that is used by the graphical user interface, and thus, no installing of any external SVN command-line clients is required.

For an update of the current working directory:

>> jsvn update .
