Is there a way of creating multiple files in Windows by using its own command prompt (cmd.exe) or terminal emulator if you call it, just like the below simple one liner would do in any Unix-like system? Note that I'm talking about a situation where I can't use any alternative terminal emulators like PowerShell or Win 32 ports of GNU utils.
for i in `seq 10` ; do `touch $i.txt`; done
for /l %a in (1 1 10) do type nul > "%a.txt"
For each value in the sequence from 1 in steps of 1 up to 10, create (> redirection) a empty file (type nul reads nothing and writes nothing) using the value in the sequence as filename (the value in the for replaceable parameter)
The command is written to be used from command line. Inside a batch file percent signs need to be escaped (doubling them), replacing %a with %%a
Use windows syntax:
for %A in (1 2 3) do type nul > file%A.txt
or
for %A in (1 2 3) do echo.> file%A.txt
or
for %A in (1 2 3) do copy nul > file%A.txt
