(OT?) Command/App to Create File of particular size
Posted by Htnakirs on February 18th, 2007


There is a DOS command that can be used to create a file of a specific
size. Any clues?
Any application that can achieve the same result would also help. I am
on XP.

Is there a reason for making this file a certain size? If you're trying to
copy the files to floppy disks there are plenty of splitters out there.
Usually when somebody wants to make a file a certain size they write the
code then fill the rest of the filesize with "blank" characters.

For Windows XP: you can use the Fsutil command as follows:

fsutil file createnew <file name> <file size in bytes>
(file is filled with zero's)

For instance: fsutil file createnew c:\temp\Blank.fil 1000000


For NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and XP: you can use MixedUp
http://www.broccolisoftware.com/prod...ls/MixedUp.asp

"Creates files of random data. File size can be from 1 byte to 99
Mbytes. The random data can be totally random, or restricted to numeric
ranges."

You can let it make a file filled with zero's:
choose 'Special Content' and Range: from 0 to 0
