Guessing from your directory name  you are trying to access the repository on the local filesystem  You still need to use URL syntax to access it   svn export file    e  repositories process test txt c  test txt

I know the OP was asking about doing the export from the command line  but just in case this is helpful to anyone else out there     You could just let Eclipse  plus one of the plugins discussed here  do the work for you   Obviously  downloading Eclipse just for doing a single export is overkill  but if you are already using it for development  you can also do an svn export simply from your IDE s context menu when browsing an SVN repository   Advantages    easier for those not so familiar with using SVN at the command-line level  but you can learn about what happens at the command-line level by looking at the SVN console with a range of commands  you d already have your SVN details set up and wouldn t have to worry about authenticating  etc  you don t have to worry about mistyping the URL  or remembering the order of parameters you can specify in a dialog which directory you d like to export to you can specify in a dialog whether you d like to export from TRUNK HEAD or use a specific revision

You don t have to do this locally either   You can do it through a remote repository  for example   svn export http    lt repo gt  process test txt  path to code
