Get particular line using svn command line

Question

I have a simple question. Is there a basic syntax to simply get the raw text output for a particular line in a particular file for a particular version using svn? I am looking for something like this. Let's say I want line 500 from MyFile.FOR version 6382:

svn line 500 MyFile.FOR 6382

How can I achieve this? Thanks

I think you should do something similar:

svn cat MyFile.FOR -r6382 | sed -n '500p'

I hope this solution is clear - if not please let me know.

I'm getting sed is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

What is your operating system?

Oops. I don't use Windows but I think the | select -Index 499 (instead of | sed...) should work (see this stackoverflow.com/questions/14759649/… )

In that case I get this error: 'select' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file .... And also I'm not using PowerShell but cmd

@user32882: I'm not using Windows, sorry.
