I need to get a list of files from a directory. I would like this to include the hidden files.
I have this code:


tell application "Finder"
				set folderPath to ((POSIX file thepath) as alias)
				set theList to ((name of every item) of folderPath as list)
			end tell

is there a way for force this to include the hidden files??

thanks
