Question on checking out multiple projects

[Mark-E]

I am using OpenGrok as a search engine for SVN. 

I have an Archived section of obsolete code that users still want to be able
to search. 
It is currently not searchable in our grok installation.

The section is setup like this in SVN:

Archive/project1/trunk
Archive/project2/trunk
Archive/project3/trunk

What I would like to be able to do is use svn co to check out the trunk
folder for each project without specifically issuing a co command for each
project. 

Something like this maybe.

svn co https://repository/Archive/projects/*/trunk

I have been doing a little research but I have not come across any
documentation that helps me understand if this is possible or not. 
Does anyone know if this is possible using svn co and if so, what the proper
syntax is?

Regards,
Mark

Thanks for the tips Konstantin, I appreciate the help. I'll give it a try.
