  1. Ok all you batch file gurus out there...I need some help.

    I had a list of words in Excel that I need to create a folder for each word. So I made a quick batch file that just said "mkdir one", "mkdir two", etc, and I got a folder for each word.

    Now I also have a list of words in Excel that I need to create a file for each one, a text file is ok. I can't figure out how to do it though. Is there a command to create a new file in DOS that I'm missing?

    Thanks!

  2. Here is a hint:
    let's assume the words in your Excel sheet are "one", "two", "three" etc.
    In DOS, create a text file, say "zero.txt"
    Create a command file with following DOS commands:
    copy zero.txt one.txt
    copy zero.txt two.txt
    copy zero.txt three.txt

    etc

    A piece of cake...

  3. Ok, I think I got it if after some help if anyone is interested...

    echo 2> test.html

    This will create a new file called test.html without anything in it
