Get-content function for powershell svn

Question

I would like to get access to file content from SVN. It's quite easy when the path is in local disc like C:\folder...\ then I can use function get-content -path $path.

However, when my source path is SVN URL then I can't do it. Is there any simple way to do it?

Thanks in advance.

The command you look for is svn cat. You can't use Get-Content PowerShell cmdlet to access remote URLs.

You're correct about Get-Content but there is Invoke-WebRequest which can pull content down from a URL.

@alroc you could also use telnet client to connect to svn server and fetch the data. Or write a custom client. But why would one bother with that when there is a command line svn.exe client that was developed for these tasks? Sounds like redeveloping the bicycle to me. :)
