How to Touch a File from a Batch File?

[Paul Havemann]

I'm looking for a way to Open a file, Save it, and exit TextPad from a batch file.

All I really want is to Touch a file from a batch file, but I'll take what I can get. ;}

Is there a command-line option, a macro, or add-on which will do this? I've looked at the SaveAll add-on, but it is not obvious (from any of the add-ons) how to cause TextPad to exit.

File Menu --> Manage Files --> Touch button

And that's done from a batch file (a.k.a. "command line") -- how, exactly?

if you just want to touch the file, search the web for unix tools for dos.

On a machine at work - to which I do not have access at the moment - I have such tools installed (touch, ls, vi, ...), they work very well under dos.

Yes, you're quite right; in fact, I found one called (amazingly) TOUCH.COM to do the trick.

Problem solved!
