Turning off Read Only status on a file

[Stalker0]

Hey guys, I'm creating a script that will go through a batch of files and turn off all of the read only conditions found in the files.

Now, I can code it to work through the GUI, but that's slower and clunkier than I would like. Is there a window's command line that will do this for me, so I just need to code in a series of windows commands?

Go to a command prompt and type

attrib /?

Should tell you everything you need to know.

Or of course you could take the easy route and use the FileSetAttrib() function in AutoIt.

Edit: Added FileSetAttrib, too quick off the mark with my ol' DOS brain...
