pipe object

[Zabooza]

i am trying to make a file hidden, and based on what i have seem most people use the pipe object.

how do i use it to make files hidden?

would it be ATTRIB +H <file/folder name>?

Are you trying to run a file invisibly?

no, i am using a file selection frame, and i dont the player to "accidently" delete the file. (saves to application path)

If it is hidden, then they have a less chance of deleteing it.
If they find it, and they delete it.... then its their problem

I want to load the hidden file with the AssArray

Why would you use the Pipe Object to hide your file? :confused: Can't you just change the attributes to "Hidden" with Sphax's File/Folder Object or something? Or save the file to the users Temp directory?

no i cant.
i tried the file folder, but couldnt find anything that would do it. and i want the file to be saved to the app. path

Sorry, I had a brain poop. :crazy:
I meant Jaffob's Power System Object. It has the capability to change the attributes of a file/folder at runtime.

thanks stephen!

an array save to a file that is hidden? or will i have to make it un-hidden during runtime?

[Stephen]

I'm actually not sure. If nothing else though, you could just unhide the file, save it, and then hide it again.
