How to create an empty file in a script?

Earlier I was using Unix where I use to apply "touch filename" command in order to create an empty file in a script. Now I’m on Windows XP and due to some I reason I need to create the same but don’t know how exactly we can create an empty file. So far I have tried “echo "" > filename” but that doesn’t creates empty file, instead it creates a file with two “.

Can anyone please tell me how completely empty file on windows?

Hello OmJaa, here is what you need to do:

Echo. > File
Echo. > Filename will not create an empty file.. to create a true empty
file, use :
type nul > FileName
C:\>cd storage
C:\Storage>more>>empty.txt

fsutil file createnew c:\temp\empty.txt 0

You must be an administrator when using/running fsutil in your script.
