Question

I run the following command as a pre-Build event in Visual Studio 2005 and it works fine:

SubWCRev.exe 'C:\work\subversion\aviOffline .Net\trunk'  'c:\test.tmpl'  'c:\testout.txt'C:\work\subversion\aviOffline .Net\trunk' 

So I change the command to use the in-built Visual Studio macros for better maintainability but it fails. It appears to fail on the $(SolutionDir) macro because it appends a trailing backslash and SubWCRev.exe seems to not like the trailing backslash?

'SubWCRev.exe' '$(SolutionDir)' 'c:\test.tmpl' 'c:\testout.txt' 

Is there a dos command or another way that removes the trailing backslash?

Thanks

Answer 1

I would try putting a trailing dot:

'$(SolutionDir).'
