My requirement is like this

i have to do a build for selected files from repository using a build script so i need to just checkout those files from repository.But before doing the build i need to check the version of the files being same as requested for the build.if the versions are not same i dont have to proceed with the build.so i need to checkout those sleceted files and after that i need to check their logs for particular version (using grep) and after that i need to run that build script for these files .so please provide me with a script for K shell. The build script is just a command .
