Generate a large file with a single or repeating characters Windows command line, batch, or powershell?
You may use the following PowerShell command in a Command Prompt (CMD):
powershell -command "'1234567890'*107374183" > file.txt
This will duplicate the string "1234567890" for 107374183 times, creating a file of size 1073741830 bytes.
In your command line:
(@echo\1>>File.txt & @for /L %L in (1 1 28)do @copy/y /b .\File.txt .\TMP.txt >nul && @copy/y /b .\File.txt + .\TMP.txt .\File.txt >nul) && del .\tmp.txt
In your bat/cmd file:
@echo off && cd /d "drive:\path\to\file_create"
echo\1>>.\File.txt
for /L %%L in (1 1 28)do >nul (
copy/y /b .\File.txt .\TMP.txt
copy/y /b .\File.txt + .\TMP.txt .\File.txt
)
del /q /f /a .\TMP.txt
- Your new file File.txt and size 1.00 GB (1,073,741,824 bytes)
