Creating a new file?

[shabbysquire]

Just like creating a new directory, can we create a new file? I need to create a new file with my variable name, and also to overwrite an existing one.

Is this doable?

Yes, this action does. If no file is found it will create it.

Thanks Tobbe. Creates and overwrites any existing files, like you mentioned.

I'd rather use list processing with a variable, like:

{-Project.Directory-}{-Variable.file_name-}.txt

It sometimes works in PM or ZP about 50% the time (usual result is: .txt).

Try this

string path = project.Variables["filePath"].Value;
System.IO.File.Create(path);
