Create a dummy file with the name of the parent folder name

[MrTBE]

Hi All,

I wonder if someone has a tip for how to create a dummy .txt file inside a folder with the file name of the parent folder.

If I have folder with sub-folders I would like to create one file in each folder.

With the command below I get the file created, but it in the same level as the parent folder, not inside the parent folder.

for /d /r %%G in (*) do (type NUL > %%G.txt)

I wonder if someone have any good ideas?

Thanks!

inside is inside

Code: Select all

for /d /r %%G in (*) do (type NUL > "%%~G\%%~nxG.txt")

edit: added "nx".

for /d /r %%G in (*) do (type NUL > "%%~G\%%~nxG.txt")
