Command to create a file (like the one to create a folder)

Help & Support
1

Hi.

I've searched, experimented, and made a lot of research during some days, but I couldn't find a proper way to make this:

"Create an empty text file with a hotkey"

Exactly as creating a new folder with Ctrl+N

I finally made it by using a .BAT/.CMD script, and executed with a keystroke invoking an User Command:

I've made it as this:

Category: User Name: Create_file Function: MS-DOS Batch Function Code: c:\[my path]\...\new_file.cmd {dlgstring}

Being new_file.cmd as this:

@echo off copy nul %1

It works, but shows a disgusting black frame and is slow.

Is there any better way of creating a text file without calling that .CMD MS-DOS script?

Thanks

Just use FileType NEW=.txt

This thread has some discussion of alternatives:

Oh my gosh!!

I knew there had to be something like this...

(And I hate the search system of this PHPbb boards... I've searched a lot and did not found that thread!)

You can always use Google to search, but some threads are hard to find since stuff like "new text file" is going to have a lot of unwanted matches. :slight_smile:
