I need to write a script that checks out a file (built.xml) from the svn (i have tortoise installed) and on one of the directories there is built.xml is installed. And the purpose of this built.xml is to check if the built is not compiled.  My script has to give an error message if there was something wrong on the built. I am brand new in svn and windows scripting world. Your guidance, help, suggestions would be highly appreciated! I am writing this on windows/exe Sincerely, your brother in humanity
