Hello Praveen, Thanks for you reply I tried with following script and it worked
import win32file import win32con int a = win32file.GetFileAttributes("C:\\TestFiles\\r.txt") & win32con.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN win32file.GetFileAttributes("C:\\TestFiles\\r.txt") will return 32 if the file is without any special attributes. 34 in case the file is only hidden 35 if the file is hidden and readonly finally int a will be 2 if the file is hidden or does not exist and 0 if the file exists and not readonly.
