Is there a way to do...
touch ./config/newdir/newfile
if neither newdir and newfile exists?
man touch tells me there's not (?)
Is out there another tool to do that?
Thx in advance! 
Hi.
What about:
mkdir -p ./config/newdir && touch newfile
Or
(mkdir -p ./config/newdir && touch newfile) 2>/dev/null
Depends on what you are doing....Often times I will echo a command out to a text file and use > or >> which should create the full path to the file.
Even to a file in a not existing directory?
it a non existent directory, nope, sorry read that wrong
Hello,
Im using solaris10, it does not create full path tlarkin:
shell>echo "OOO" >> ./newdir/newfile.txt
bash: ./newdir/newfile.txt: No such file or directory
[/CODE]
However i know
mkdir -p
and its combinations will help as Scottn mentioned earlier.
Yeah I read your question wrong, sorry my bad. I thought the directory already existed.
