Cannot check if svn repository folders exists or not using a batch file

I am having some trouble with checking if a folder in the svn repository exists or not using a batch file.

Using a batch file, I see that in order to check if a folder exists I can do that using :

if exist c:/folder/ ( echo folder found )
if not exist c:/folder/ ( echo folder not found)

Using the same concept, but replacing the drive location to a svn repository location doesn't work.

if exist svn://repository_location ( echo folder found)
if not exist svn://repository_location ( echo folder not found )

Each time, I run the code, it gives back the error

folder not found

Can anyone help me figure out some way to use the svn links to check for file locations?

cmd.exe does not know anything about Subversion and the location svn://repository_location. Therefore, it will always output "folder not found" because there is no folder with name svn://repository_location on local filesystem.

You should use Subversion command-line tools (svn.exe, svnlook.exe) or use its APIs to complete the task you have. There are also bindings for Python, C#, Perl which should help you.
