Ignoring hidden files

13th September 2005, 08:31

I know that "File /r *.*" command includes all files, even hidden ones. I want to make installer exe from our project folder, which contains several hidden files that should not be distributed. (We use Subversion to control data.)

I've searched this forum, and the only solution seems to create script file with manually typing all "un"-hidden files' name with "File" command.

Is there any fancy methods? Or does "File" command have special option that excludes hidden files?

Use the /x switch to exclude files.

Using multiple /x options give me a desired result.
