Probably you meant "blank .txt file manually" instead of "black .txt file"

You can create new files as follows:

File file = new File(fileName);
file.createNewFile();

So if the filename "blank.txt" then the code snippet above creates an empty file named "blank.txt" in the current folder. (normally application folder)

And if you want to make sure that its directories exist before saving the file:

File dir = new File(dirName);
dir.mkdirs();

The former is efficient and fast, but quite difficult to program. The latter is inefficient and slow, but much easier to program.



Yes. You are right. I just noticed your answer..

I dont know your exact aim so i wanted to show one more approach if your problem does not require a shell script strictly.

You can also search for similar scripting languages to Perl available for Java. For example, the article below says Sleep and Perl is similar:
