I am trying to create a batch file which will create a text file in a specific folder. I am able to create a text file on my desktop, but I need to create a file in a specific file path.
For example in D:/Testing folder I wants to create a user defined text file.
@echo off echo .>> dblank.txt I am using the above code to create a .txt file on my desktop.
I know this is a simple question but I searched google and have not found any good solution that could helpful to me.

To create a Windows batch file, follow these steps: Open a text file, such as a Notepad or WordPad document. Add your commands, starting with @echo [off], followed by, each in a new line, title [title of your batch script], echo [first line], and pause. Save your file with the file extension BAT, for example, test.
Introduction# One useful feature of batch files is being able to create files with them.
Use double percent signs ( %% ) to carry out the for command within a batch file. Variables are case sensitive, and they must be represented with an alphabetical value such as %a, %b, or %c. ( <set> ) Required. Specifies one or more files, directories, or text strings, or a range of values on which to run the command.
You have it almost done. Just explicitly say where to create the file
@echo off echo.>"d:\testing\dblank.txt" This creates a file containing a blank line (CR + LF = 2 bytes).
If you want the file empty (0 bytes)
@echo off break>"d:\testing\dblank.txt" This code written above worked for me as well. Although, you can use the code I am writing here:
@echo off @echo>"d:\testing\dblank.txt If you want to write some text to dblank.txt then add the following line in the end of your code
@echo Writing text to dblank.txt> dblank.txt If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
