The MS-DOS command attrib changes the attributes of a single file. How can I use it to change the attributes of a group of files?
This is the info you need
Displays or changes file attributes. ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [drive:][path][filename] [/S [/D]] + Sets an attribute. - Clears an attribute. R Read-only file attribute. A Archive file attribute. S System file attribute. H Hidden file attribute. [drive:][path][filename] Specifies a file or files for attrib to process. /S Processes matching files in the current folder and all subfolders. /D Processes folders as well.By using the ‘/s’ parameter will do it for matching files for example
That will remove the read, hidden, system and archive attributes from ALL files ending with ‘.txt’.
