question about findstr

T

thinktwice

i want to get the subversion revision number of my workingcopy.
(subversion is something like vss or cvs)

i find the revision number keeps in the "entries" file in the ".svn"
dir, it's format like this:
8dirxxxxhttp://
url...............................................................
........................................................................................

i want to get the xxxx part , xxxx is a number. i think maybe it'll
change the format a little,like change 8 to other higher number. so i
want to search [1-9][0-9]*[a-z][1-9][0-9]* pattern. but i'm not
familiar how to use regularexpression in findstr. is there advanced
tutorial or example about how to use findstr?
