Unix Touch command for Windows Command line

Post by keyless » Tue Aug 19, 2008 11:55 pm

Phil Davis asked about something to simulate a Unix "Touch" command on the Mailing List.

I don't have email access right now (with List access), so can someone notify him of this on the list please. Thanks.


I have found that this works in command line like "touch"

Code: Select all

copy /y nul <filename.extension>

Sorry that code was to create a blank file like finger does. There are options for other finger functions see: http://brett.batie.com/dosshell/touch-w ... -commands/


Someone please post to List please. (last time am getting my regular laptop back)
