Windows Subversion differences

In Unix it is easy to perform subversion differences. I have output all files to a directory and did a diff on each one of them.

However, in Windows, how can i do this without using tortoise SVN? I want to extract the files from subversion into a directory on local machine and compare them with the files i have received from a production machine and then do a diff.

I want to be able to write a script that i can run whenever i need to.

How can i achieve this on windows?

TortoiseSVN 1.7 and newer has an option to install the command-line client tools (svn.exe, etc.) which work identically to the UNIX versions. And you can get a Win32 Console version of diff from a variety of sources Then glue them together using your scripting tool of choice - WSH, PowerShell or BAT.

Some might also suggest using Cygwin; I really dislike the idea of attempting to emulate one OS's environment on another like that, as it doesn't always work the way you'd expect. But if you already have a shell script on UNIX, that may be the path of least resistance in porting it over to Windows.
