AWK script to perform cvs update

[fabienc]

Hi!

I am looking for an AWK script that would take a directory as input and execute "cvs update" on each files found in its sub-directories avoiding all sub-directories called "CVS".

I know I can use some tools like TortoiseCVS to do this, the problem is that I am working on some files/directories which are extracted from a main repositry and I dont want CVS to add all the files I have not modified.

Thanks a lot!

Once I developped a script for SCCS (which is similar to CVS) to add/update files resident in the current directory.

The main "loop" would check if file exists in the SCCS directory; if not it would 'add' the file, else it would 'update' the file -- something kinda like this code snippet:

cd /target/directory
for f in `ls -p`
do
  s="${f%%*/}"
  if [ ! -z "$s" ]; then
    sfx=${s##*.}
    #echo "File is: $s Type: $sfx"
    if [[ "$s" != "$sfx" ]]; then
      if [[ ! -f SCCS/s.$s ]]; then
        case $sfx in
           sh) addsccs $s $REVN;;
          csh) addsccs $s $REVN;;
          ksh) addsccs $s $REVN;;
          pls) addsccs $s $REVN;;
           pl) addsccs $s $REVN;;
          sql) addsccs $s $REVN;;
          trg) addsccs $s $REVN;;
          txt) addsccs $s $REVN;;
            *) ls -alp $s;;
        esac
      else
        updsccs $s
      fi
    fi
  fi
done

Thanks, I actually found the solution myself using the simple unix command not awk:

find -name "CVS" -prune -o -type f -exec  cvs update {} \;
