Open a file, save it and close it using a Batch File

[the_caretaker]

Hi,

I am trying to write a batch file to open a file(.txt) in a specified location,save the file and then close the file again.

Is it possible to execute these commands using a batch file? I can write the command to open, but cannot seem to save and close it.

Thanks in advance.

How are you opening it?
Do you want to add text to an existing file?


This will add a line at the bottom of a file.txt file. It automatically gets saved.

Code: Select all

>>file.txt echo new line at the bottom

Hi, thanks for the replies.

No I don't need to add any text, I just need to save it i.e. update Date Modified.

Thanks

Code: Select all

COPY /B file.txt +,,

Going forward please state what your intended goal is in your question.
