VisualSVN pre-commit rule

Question

Using this hook with the VisualSVN server, add to the Repository / hooks folder as pre-commit.bat.

My question is: how do I add a rule so that the comment always starts with a numeric value? I want the first part of the comment to always be the problem number from the error tracker. For instance. "123 - this commit fixes problem 123"

@echo off
::    
:: Stops commits that have empty log messages.
::

@echo off

setlocal

rem Subversion sends through the path to the repository and transaction id
set REPOS=%1
set TXN=%2

rem check for an empty log message
svnlook log %REPOS% -t %TXN% | findstr . > nul
if %errorlevel% gtr 0 (goto err) else exit 0

:err
echo. 1>&2
echo Your commit has been blocked because you didn't give any log message 1>&2
echo Please write a log message describing the purpose of your changes and 1>&2
echo then try committing again. -- Thank you 1>&2
exit 1

Answer 1

Try regex:

findstr "^[0-9]"

those.

svnlook log %REPOS% -t %TXN% | findstr "^[0-9] > nul
if %errorlevel% gtr 0 (goto err) else exit 0
