Is Hidden operation

Exceptions

Determines whether a file path represents a file that is hidden. The results are determined by the operating system that the LiveCycle Server runs on.

On UNIX operating systems, the paths of hidden files begin with a period (“.”), for example, /tmp/.file.txt.
On Windows operating systems, the Hidden attribute of files determines whether they are hidden or not.

Note: If the file does not exist, the operation does not return an error. You should use the is File operation to determine if the file exists before using this operation. (See Is File operation.)

For information about the General and Route Evaluation property groups, see Common operation properties.

Input properties

Properties for specifying the file path.

Pathname

A string value that represents the file path.

Output properties

Properties for specifying where to save results.

Result

(Optional) The location to store the result. The data type is boolean. A value of true indicates that the path represents a hidden file and a value of false indicates that the path is not that of a hidden file.

If the file does not exist, the operating system determines whether true or false is returned.

Exceptions

The exception event attached to this operation can receive FileUtilsException exceptions.
