Please ask experts for more advice. I've read some introductory materials about DOS, but I just can't find the command to display hidden files under DOS. If you know, please tell me. Thank you!

It has been copied down. Does "dir/ah" can display all hidden files? Also, is this "?" referring to the file name I want to display: such as "dir/abc.mp3"? Thanks for your advice.

dir /? is to seek help from the system. dir abc.mp3 is the correct format.

Sometimes, dir /ah may not display all hidden files. This command may not be effective for files with system or read-only attributes. You can try dir /as or dir/ar, maybe you can find the file you want. Also, there is another trick: dir /a can display all files regardless of their attributes, whether they are hidden or have system attributes!!!
