How to SVN commit all files with the same prefix

Question

I have files with noviembre as a prefix and I want to commit all of them at once.

I tried this command: svn commit noviembre*.doc --message "deleted".

I can do them 1 by 1 or add all the files names in 1 command but there are a lot of files.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I am using Opensuse 31.1.

The log message "deleted" suggests that you have deleted these files.

That is the reason why the wildcard does not work: The wildcard expansion ("globbing") is done by the shell, and it expands to any existing files that the shell can find and that match your pattern. Well, you deleted them so this returns nothing.

Committing the folder that contains all those noviembre files will work, but hopefully you have not done any modifications in other files that you do not want committed. Otherwise you'll have a bit of work ahead, moving files out of your working copy and later moving them back.

EDIT: Or, as suggested by rene, do a parse of svn status. That's actually a genious idea.
