Dear All,

how can i set multiple attrib for a file using FAttrib() method. For eg. Hidden and system together in a single Fattrib command

Please try this

Code: Select all  Expand view

FAttrib(FileName,02+04)  // 02 -> Hidden and 04 -> System

I belive that this will make Hidden and System attrib together in a single shot

Thank you,

Its working, Now i can set multiple attrib for a folder or a file using FAttrib(). But Sir I have one more question

How can I remove the attrib from a folder or a file using FAttrib().
Or is there any other function for it

Sanil,

FAttrib(cFileName, ) ie without any parameter resets the attrib to empty

I don't know hot to reset a particular attrib alone ie to change READ ONLY attribute alone if the file already has a HIDDEN and READ ONLY attribute is set.

Sir, when I apply this method it removing all attrib from the file or folder. But I need to remove a particular attrib not all. Which means if a file have READ ONLY, HIDDEN and SYSTEM, in this case only needs to remove System and Hidden attrib.

Sanil,

You need to use nXor() to exclude the attributes that you don't want.

Or use nAnd() to select the attributes that you just want.

function Main()

   local nAttrib := FAttrib( "test.prg" )

   MsgInfo( nAttrib ) // 32 is shown

   FAttrib( "test.prg", nOr( nAttrib, 4 ) ) // We want to set "system style"
   
   MsgInfo( nAttrib := FAttrib( "test.prg" ) ) // 36 is shown

   FAttrib( "test.prg", nXor( nAttrib, 4 ) ) // We want to remove "system style"

   MsgInfo( FAttrib( "test.prg" ) ) // 32 is shown again
