Program to create multiple files automatically

[samoguz]

I have a text file with 100 unique names and I want to create 100 files (not folders) with those names.

Sample text file

Does anyone know if there is a portable program out there that can do this?

Thanks

I used DropIt + a batch file for a somewhat similar task:

Perhaps you can modify the .bat file to suit your needs. If not, I can have a look.

Hint: create a "source.txt" file and duplicate (meaning copy and rename) them 100 times

This might be (or not ) what you're looking for: http://www.mynikko.com/dummy/ (DotNET v2!)

@samoguz
<Ctrl>C the file
then tap <Ctrl>V 99 times

Thank you all for your help.

Tproli, your suggestion sounds very interesting. I will look into it.

Midas, the program you suggested is awesome! It did exactly what I needed in almost one click.

NickR, what you suggested is way too simple. I needed to create 100 files with different names which were already specified in a txt file as described in my post.

Midas you are a life saver I often need to create files which names should be extracted from a text file. I was using portable cygwin with a simple script to do that but opening cygwin and running the script takes more time in my already busy day. I am glad I asked!
