problem showing hidden files

[luis713]

hi, I have this line

FileSetAttrib("c:\*", "-H")

it works perfect with all files and folders, but there's one exception, this line doesn't show files without extension, for example if i have a file named "Test.txt" it works perfect, but if I erase the extension doesn't work. do you know where the problem is?

thanks

And what happens if you try FileSetAttrib with the exact filename? If this works you could use _FileListToArray().

If i use filesetattrib with the exact filename it works, I tryied this code but doesn't work, can you help me?

$FileList = _FileListToArray("D:", "*", 0)

FileSetAttrib($FileList, "-h")

#include <File.au3>
Global $sFolder = "D:"
Global $aFileList = _FileListToArray($sFolder, "*", 0)
For $i = 1 To $aFileList[0]
 FileSetAttrib($sFolder & $aFileList[$i], "-h")
Next

thanks for replying, your script works but when i'm trying to changing attributes to subfolders it doesn't work or is very slow, i have replaced your line FileSetAttrib($sFolder & $aFileList[$i], "-h"), for this one FileSetAttrib($sFolder & $aFileList[$i], "-h", 1) where the number indicates to recurse subfolders, do you know where the problem is?

I need learn how to use arrays, i have read the wiki but i can't understand

thanks muttley
