Powershell - creating files and folders programmatically

To create a file programmatically we can use the below command: -

new-item -path c:\Test -name MyTestFile.txt -type "file" -value "This is a Test File with sample contents."

the above command creates a file "MyTestFile.txt" within the "C:\Test" directory with the given contents.

To create a folder, we can use the below command: -

new-item -path D:\MyAlreadyExistingFolder -name MyNewFolder -type directory

This command creates a folder named "MyNewFolder" within the "MyAlreadyExistingFolder" folder.

The essential thing to be noted in the above commands is the 'new-item' cmdlet. For more details and additional usage of this command visit this page.
