Couldn't you solve this by :
- create (before the answer file ...) a temporary invisible directory (starting
with a '.', like ".myTmpDir"),
- move all files you don't want to see to that directory,
- show the answer,
- restore the files from that hidden directory back and
- remove the hidden directory ?

It's not nice, but this should work.
