GetAttr Function
This standard VB function returns the attributes of a file, folder, or volume label.
Syntax
GetAttr(pathname)
Argument Description pathname A string or string expression evaluating to the name of the file, folder, or volume label to query
Returns
An integer representing a file attribute. The file attributes returned by GetAttr are as follows:
Value Meaning 0 Normal file 1 Read-only file 2 Hidden file 4 System file 8 Volume label 16 Directory (folder) 32 Archive—file has changed since last backupUsage
Pathname can contain drive and folder information, but cannot contain wildcards (* and ?).
If GetAttr returns a value other than those in the preceding list, the return value represents the sum of the return values for those attributes that are set; thus, for example, a return value of 6 represents a hidden system file.
