FLfile object 269
If you include both R and W in strAttrs, the R is ignored and the file is set as writable.
Similarly, if you pass
H and V, the H is ignored and the file is set as visible.
If you want to make sure the archive attribute is not set, use this command with the
N
parameter before setting attributes. That is, there is no direct counterpart to
A that turns off
the archive attribute.
Examples
The following example sets the file mydata.txt to be read-only and hidden. It has no effect on
the archive attribute.
var URI = "file:///c|/temp/mydata.txt";
if (FLfile.exists(URI)) {
FLfile.setAttributes(URI, "RH");
}
The following example sets the file mydata.txt to be read-only and hidden. It also ensures that
the archive attribute is not set.
var URI = "file:///c|/temp/mydata.txt";
if (FLfile.exists(URI)) {
FLfile.setAttributes(URI, "N");
FLfile.setAttributes(URI, "RH");
}
