svn checkout a single file but with full folder structure

Question

Currently I am checking out a single file from a SVN repository like this:

SVN complete URL :

"https://svn_test_url/trunk/Documents/filename.txt"

Using the below command :

svn co --depth=empty "https://svn_test_url/trunk/Documents/" "local_folder_name" & cd "local_folder_name" & svn up "filename.txt"

And finally I get:

-local_folder_name
 -.svn
 -filename.txt

Question : I would like to checkout the complete folder structure till file.

So according to my example I expect the folder structure be like:

-local_folder_name
 -.svn
 -trunk
  -Documents
   -filename.txt 

Any help will be really helpful and appreciated. Thank you in advance

Since you already have to know the folder path to check out the file, just call mkdir first:

mkdir "local_folder_name\trunk\Documents" &
svn co --depth=empty "https://svn_test_url/trunk/Documents/" "local_folder_name" & 
cd "local_folder_name" & 
svn up "filename.txt"

Or if you really want SVN to handle it, use the --parents switch on svn up and change your checkout root:

svn co --depth=empty "https://svn_test_url" "local_folder_name" & 
cd "local_folder_name" & 
svn up --parents "trunk/Documents/filename.txt"
