Message: <blockquote data-quote="lummis" data-source="post: 1616169" data-attributes="member: 313811"><p>I just want to protect a folder against myself accidentally changing something in it. The best I've come up with so far is to compress it, which makes a .zip file, then make the zip readonly. Then each time I want to read it uncompress the zip. After I read the files I can trash the uncompressed version and the zip will still be there unchanged. But it would be better if there were a way to change the permission on every file in the directory to readonly in one step.</p></blockquote><p></p>

Verification: How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
