ceAttrib added to the Command-Line Srego Toolpack

With version 3.0.0.5 of the Srego CE Toolpack Command-Line utilities, a new utility called ceAttrib has been added.

ceAttrib

The ceAttrib utility is run on a desktop computer to set file attributes on the connected device.

The ceAttrib utility will accept wildcards in the path name (* and ?) to get or set file attributes on more than one file.

There are 4 attributes the ceAttrib utility can be used to change: ReadOnly, Archive, Hidden, and System.

The ceAttrib utility can also be used to see what attributes are set on a file. It will show ReadOnly, Archive, Hidden, System, and Directory.

The ceAttrib utility will use the current directory (set by ceCD) and does require quotes around paths with spaces.

*** Note: Some attributes cannot be changed on certain platforms. For example, the System attribute cannot be changed on a Windows Mobile 5.0 or Windows Mobile 6 device.
