How to search/batch-change file attributes

[BillW]

I would like to search for files using file attributes as a search
parameter. I would also like to batch change them. Examples: (1) list all
the files with the Archive bit off ; (2) find all files with the bit off
and turn it on. Does anyone know of freeware that can do this or a function
within XP that can at least find the files? Thanks

You need dir /a and attrib .

For example :
dir /a:-a /b | attrib +a
