exportdata as a hidden file?

Post by JeffDaruecan » Sat May 15, 2010 4:55 am

Is it possible to have an image or any type of data exported from a script be created as a hidden file?

Just to make it look cleaner when running without needing to see all the additional files used to run the script such as dll's, images, etc

I know I can have them set to extract to hidden folders already created but I cant figure out a way to have the files them self be exported hidden

I don't know a way to create the file as a hidden file but you can certainly make it a hidden file a split second after the file is written.

Code: Select all

WriteLn>C:\yourFile.ext,wres,Data
Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=0
Run>cmd /c attrib +h C:\yourFile.ext

Thank you.
Works well enough for my needs and doesn't slow the script down by too much.
