How To Change All Files To Zero-Byte?

  • 0

Hi, is there any way I can change all files in a folder to zero-byte length? I need to have the same filenames, just want to change their size to zero. Maybe by creating a batch file.

Please help. Thanks.

      The zerolgt command should be issued from another directory with the target folder as a parameter, e.g.

      C:\My dir>zerolgt C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Folder

      However if you want to store it in the same folder holding the target files, use the following version

      :: zerolgt.bat Usage: zerolgt Folder_Name
@echo off
pushd %*
for %%j in (*) do if /I not "%%j"=="%~nx0" type nul > "%%j"
popd
:: End_Of_Batch

      The above script doesn’t clear itself.
