Hi all,
I had a need to show and hide dot files. I got tired of having to  
bring up terminal every time I need to deal with hidden files so I  
created the below apple script.


tell application "Finder"
activate
try
set showHidden to do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder  
AppleShowAllFiles" as string
if showHidden is "OFF" then
say "Showing dot files"
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles ON"
do shell script "killall Finder"
else
say "Hiding dot files"
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles OFF"
do shell script "killall Finder"
end if
end try
end tell
