CreateFile()?

[tannerli]

Already used Forum Search.... and also the helpfile

Am I terribly wrong now or does AutoIt lack a CreateFile() - Function.....?

I don't need to read/write it, it just has to exist....

I used

FileClose(FileOpen("command.fil", 1))

instead but I think there's an easier way....

Try this

#include <file.au3>
_FileCreate("command.fil")

sometime I think im a bit half-assed....

No you aren't, _FileCreate() works almost exactly as your method:

    $hOpenFile = FileOpen($sFilePath, 2)

    If $hOpenFile = -1 Then

        Return 0
    EndIf

    $hWriteFile = FileWrite($hOpenFile, "")

        SetError(2)

    FileClose($hOpenFile)
    Return 1
EndFunc  ;==>_FileCreate

It's copied from File.au3.
