Touch command is quite handy tool to add multiple empty files at the same time using command line “Terminal” with different file types “extensions”and file’s name.
[i.e] add multiple files to open them using open office word processor, web browser and default text editor you have.
touch one.odt two.rtf Three.docx four.doc Five.html
You can add uppercase letters and signs “$#@&*”
Add multiple files with same name in sequence
touch nov{1,2,,3,4,5,6,7}.txt
Extra Features:
| touch -a | change access time for files |
| touch -m | change modification time for files |
| touch -t | change time and date instead of current time and date. |
| touch –help | will show more options for Touch Command |
