Windows 10: use star ( * ) as the folder path in cmd

Hi.

There are hundreds of folders inside a folder called 'data' and all of them contain an specific file named 'file.txt' , I want to hide all 'file.txt' files using cmd.

The command will be something like attrib +h data\*\file.txt . But cmd doesn't let you to use * in folder name. ( ERROR : Path not found - data\* )

How can I tell cmd to find every 'file.txt' in any folder ?

:)

 

Folder locked and dissapeared after unlock

AHA


When i try to navigate (CD command) to the folder CMD says "Disable path FAST IO for this operation"

 

Add a path to $PATH?

what exactly do you need to decipher about that path line? also, what are you installing? perhaps i can help.

 

Add a path to $PATH?

Yeah, I think you're right. I think the purpose of the echo command was to check if ~/bin was in the $PATH file. My problem is that I can't decipher the output and I don't know how to add ~/bin to the $PATH file.

Just for clarification, the snippet of instructions I gave is just a few steps in the installation process. Nothing is actually supposed to be installed with those steps.

Thanks for the reply.
