Hi All,
In Windows, is there a way to get
$FileName.IO.e.Bool
to show hidden files?
attrib C:\pagefile.sys
A SH C:\pagefile.sys
raku -e "say 'c:\\pagefile.sys'.IO.e.Bool;"
False
raku -e "say 'c:\pagefile.sys'.IO.e.Bool;"
False
Many thanks,

I just opened:
IO.e.Bool misses hidden files:
https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/3594
Workaround:
raku -e "my $x='C:\pagefile.sys'; say qqx ( attrib $x ).contains( $x );"
True
And to make it more Windows friendly, where file names
are not case sensitive:
raku -e "my $x='C:\PageFile.SYS'.lc; say qqx ( attrib $x ).lc.contains(
$x );"
True
