write NULL to a windows txt file

All,
I can easily do the following in unix


	Code: echo -n "" > file

how would I achieve the same in windows?

regards

Alan

Re: write NULL to a windows txt file

No problem. Who'd've thunk it'd be so difficult to work out what arguments you need to pass to something as trivial as echo? Took me a good few minutes of slacking off work to find! Surely M$ should just use the GNU implementation, or at least something identical from a blackbox point of view???
