Ask: How to display hidden files in DOS? - China DOS Union Forum

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!

I'm waiting online for some expert to teach me!!!

dir /ah
You can see for yourself, method: dir /?

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!!!

DIR attributes]]
sortorder]]
Specifies drive, directory, and/or files to list.
(Could be enhanced file specification or multiple filespecs.)
/P Pauses after each screenful of information.
/W Uses wide list format.
/A Displays files with specified attributes.
attributes D Directories R Read-only files
H Hidden files A Files ready for archiving
S System files - Prefix meaning not
/O List by files in sorted order。
sortorder N By name (alphabetic) S By size (smallest first)
E By extension (alphabetic) D By date & time (earliest first)
G Group directories first - Prefix to reverse order
A By Last Access Date (earliest first)
/S Displays files在指定目录及其所有子目录中。
/B Uses bare format (no heading information or summary).
/L Uses lowercase.
/V Verbose mode.
/4 Displays year with 4 digits (ignored if /V also given).

（Note: There are some minor formatting and translation adjustments here to make it more accurate and fluent while keeping the original technical content intact. The key is to ensure that the technical terms and command descriptions are accurately conveyed in English.）

I know nothing about DOS~~~! What should I do~~~! Big brothers and sisters, everyone
