Helo everybody

I have one question.

How can I create empty file via command line in MSDOS ?

Thanks

Code: [SELECT]copy con "(where-ever i.e. C:\)"\(file name).(file TYPE)
E.G.
copy con "C\Documents and Settings\%username%\Desktop\file.txt"but I dont want to open console for editing, only create empty file with 0 bytes.

If you want a really empty file (0 bytes) then do
REM>MyFileName.Ext

GrahamCode: [Select]cd (where-ever you want the files to go)
copy con (file name).(file type)
E.G.
cd "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Desktop"
copy con file1.txt
copy con file2.txt
copy con file3.txt
There is probably another way to automatically add a number to the file, but I don't know it.

N.B. You have to press ^Z to create the file
e.g. copy con (file thing here)
(press this now:)^Z (shift-Z)Code: [Select]echo.>> "%userprofile%\desktop\hi.txt"
see if that worksDoesn't >> add text to the file though?Hello

I THINK that REM command RECORDS commnet. I tried it but i don't show any file

echo command puts two character into file, result of echo.>file.txt is file with 2 bytes

type nul > Drive:\Folder\Filename.Extension

Code: [Select]I:\test\zzz>type nul > zero.txt

I:\test\zzz>dir
Volume in drive I is Various
Volume Serial Number is 4040-A645

Directory of I:\test\zzz

04/05/2007 11:32 <DIR> ..
04/05/2007 11:32 <DIR> .
04/05/2007 11:32 0 zero.txt
1 File(s) 0 bytes
2 Dir(s) 24,466,706,432 bytes free
Sorry guys, rem>filename is a trick that no longer works (Im afraid I go back to DOS 2 days)

The type NUL trick does WORK though
