Empty files 1

[TrevJones]

Does anyone know of a way to create an empty file from the command line or a batch file?

. > c:\test.txt

This line in a batch file will display an error in the dos window but will not terminate the batch file and leaves an empty file created (at least in 2000, should be the same for NT though).

Thanks very much - it did work for NT.

What I have done in the end is use somthing very similar

@echo Creating file name.txt 2> c:\name.txt

Because there are no errors from the echo statement none are directed (through '2>' ) to the new file which is created anyway.

Thanks for pointing the way
