Hello,
I need to check if a hidden file exist of not.
Since the function File() doesn't check hidden files, this can't be used.
How can I check if a hidden file exists ?
Thank you in advance for any help.

I use : FiveWin for (x)Harbour v. 25.12 - Harbour 3.2.0 (May 2025) - xHarbour Builder (January 2020) - Bcc773
With xHarbour, File( cHiddenFile ) returns .T.
But with Harbour, it returns .F.
We can use !Empty( DIRECTORY( cHiddenFile, "H" ) ) in both (x)Harbour
Mr. Rao,

A thought just occurred to me, can we access DBFs and indexes that are hidden? This would prevent users from messing with these files.
Andi if so, can we create hidden files from code?

Great news.
Does FW just see them when we try to open them, or is there special syntax?
Ok, I just tried hiding a folder and it's contents and the EXE still sees it.
I like it!
