Windows, Still Out Of Touch
4 February, 06:56 AM
You’d think after 30 years or so, someone would have thought to put the touch command into Windows.
copy /b test.txt +,,
I have no idea what the syntax of the command (particularly the ,, part) translates too, but it does work (on Windows XP at least). I told a co-worker about this and his response was “ouch. I’ll bet there’s a better way to do that in powershell”. A cursory check on Google reveals that this has been done, but most definitely not in a one-liner.
