My team is working on a problem. Please help us solve it.

I am looping through a set of files and on each loop i process the file and move it to another folder. I am using File System task and variables with destination path and name, to do so . It works fine.

Requirement :

However now I want that after processing the file, instead of moving it, I create an empty text file at the destination containing the file name. I want to do this with minimum effort. Can anyone suggest me the way.

thanks

Create an empty file in the directory with dummy name, just copy it to whatever name you like in the package.

Hi,

Thanks for replying. How will I create an empty file in the directory? I do not see a "CreateFile" operation in the File System Task editor

thanks.
