Color your svn command-line output with svnc!

Nice utility.

I don't believe you need the interop - I've removed it and replaced it with some minor changes. The 'G' of merged can appear in the second column (e.g. svn merge) so a '.?' in the regexp should suffice. Code included below.

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

namespace svnc
{
public static class Program
{
static Regex s_conflictRegex = new Regex("^C( ){4}.+$");
static Regex s_mergedRegex = new Regex("^.?G( ){4}.+$");
static Regex s_modifyRegex = new Regex("^M( ){4}.+$");
static Regex s_addRegex = new Regex("^A( ){4}.+$");
static Regex s_deleteRegex = new Regex("^D( ){4}.+$");

static void OutputLine(string text)
{
ConsoleColor color = Console.ForegroundColor;
ConsoleColor originalColor = Console.ForegroundColor;

if (s_conflictRegex.Match(text).Success)
color = ConsoleColor.Red;
else if (s_mergedRegex.Match(text).Success)
color = ConsoleColor.Yellow;
else if (s_modifyRegex.Match(text).Success)
color = ConsoleColor.White;
else if (s_addRegex.Match(text).Success)
color = ConsoleColor.Green;
else if (s_deleteRegex.Match(text).Success)
color = ConsoleColor.Blue;

Console.ForegroundColor = color;
Console.WriteLine(text);
Console.ForegroundColor = originalColor;
}

static int Main(string[] args)
{
Regex whitespace = new Regex(@"[\s\n\r]{1,}");
for (int i = 0; i < args.Length; ++i)
{
if (whitespace.Match(args[i]).Success)
args[i] = '"' + args[i] + '"';
}

Process svnProcess = new Process();
svnProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "svn.exe";
svnProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Join(" ", args);
svnProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
svnProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
svnProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;

bool started = svnProcess.Start();
if (!started)
{
Console.WriteLine("Unable to start svn.exe process, aborting.");
return -1;
}

string output = null;
while (svnProcess.HasExited == false)
{
output = svnProcess.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
if (output != null)
OutputLine(output);
}

while (output != null)
{
output = svnProcess.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
if (output != null)
OutputLine(output);
}

string error = svnProcess.StandardError.ReadToEnd();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(error) == false)
Console.Write(error);

return svnProcess.ExitCode;
}
}
}

Hi, I rewrote it in python so it works for GNU/Linux people too (might also work with Mac OSX).

Hi, you mentioned 'color-coded output from MSBuild', did you mean the Output window of the Visual studio?
I'm looking for something to color my Output window for ages now, I even tried to implement it, but it seems, the compiler uses some internal functions to report the compilation messages, so I can't push it through anything, it's just gets around it.

Great idea - brought a tear to my eye actually.

I still use CVS primarily through a UNIX-housed repository and command-line exclusively for all versioning control. After your idea, just whipped together a single-line BASH command that makes your stomach turn when you look at it:

Here's a bad SVN version to do the same:

svn stat -q \
| sed -e "s/^\(\A.*\)$/`printf '\033'`[1;32m\1`printf '\033'`[0;00m/g" \
| sed -e "s/^\(\C.*\)$/`printf '\033'`[1;31m\1`printf '\033'`[0;00m/g" \
| sed -e "s/^\(\M.*\)$/`printf '\033'`[1;34m\1`printf '\033'`[0;00m/g" \
| sed -e "s/^\(\G.*\)$/`printf '\033'`[1;37m\1`printf '\033'`[0;00m/g" \
| sed -e "s/^\(\D.*\)$/`printf '\033'`[1;36m\1`printf '\033'`[0;00m/g"
