I try to create a folder and a file in one PowerShell command: I tried:
New-Item hello\test\ (New-Item hello\test\file.txt -type file) -type directory -Force
and
New-Item file.txt (New-Item hello\test\ -type direcotry) -type file -Force
But both don't seem to work as expected.
What I want to achieve is one command to create hello\test\file.txt
Just provide the filepath you want, including the directory, and it will work:
New-Item -Path '.\hello\test\file.txt' -ItemType File -Force
New-Item -Path '.\hello\test\file.txt' -Force -ItemType File
New-Item: Could not find a part of the path 'c:\some\path\where\some\folder\does\not\exist\filename'. Any idea why it does not work? Note that only the last folder corresponding to exist did not exist.
If you want to put the c.txt file in the b folder of the a folder, do so. ni a/b/c.text -Force
If you want to put two files y.txt and z.hml in x folder ni x/y.txt, x/z.html -Force
I created the directory and the file with the following code.
New-Item hello\test -type Directory ; Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500 ; New-Item hello\test\file.txt
It's not case-sensitive in powershell command, so the most convenient and fastest way to create file would be - > new-item -path . -name 'newfile.txt' -itemtype 'file'
And for new directory, it's the same as in Linux-terminal -> mkdir newdirectory
