Make a 1 KB text file and append it to itself the required number of times.

beckenbauerwang · « **Reply #2 on:** November 23, 2008, 04:22:05 AM »

Is there are kind of command?

You mean you want somebody to write you a batch file?

Why do you need to do this?

beckenbauerwang · « **Reply #4 on:** November 23, 2008, 04:35:54 AM »

that's not important. 1 minute can be done?

I can see how this would make a 'funny' practical joke.......

beckenbauerwang · « **Reply #8 on:** November 23, 2008, 04:42:29 AM »

any idea?

Dias de verano · « **Reply #9 on:** November 23, 2008, 04:57:04 AM »

If you know how to make a 1 byte text file and you know how to copy a file you can make a text file of any desired size.

Which is why I am being coy. If you know anything at all about batch coding, the task is a trivial one.

Just the sort of answer that makes me want to help! (not)

I can think of one or two legitimate reasons, but we're not being given them, in fact I think the well is poisoned.

I just made one and I let it run as I went to go get water.
Now I'm busy removing 4GB off my external hard drive....

Beckenbauerwang.....think how cells divide...

Dias de verano · « **Reply #15 on:** November 23, 2008, 05:30:26 AM »

I found it went quite slowly on my USB external drive compared with a 7200 rpm IDE internal.

cells divide ？？？

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #17 on:** November 23, 2008, 05:34:08 AM »

It went slowly on my External, which is why I went to get water.

Don't want to try it on my internal, at least not now.

Or rabbits.

At first there's 1, and then there's 2, and then there's 4, then 8, 16, 32, 64.........

This is dangerous code in the wrong hands. You have not said why you want it, and even if you did, I am not sure it should be posted here.

What do you think, carbon?

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #23 on:** November 23, 2008, 05:59:40 AM »

What kind of FTP test?

Maybe it's my lack of knowledge in that area, but do you need a file that keeps increasing in size to perform an FTP test?

I think he just wants a 1 gb file actually, it was me that introduced the notion of creating such a file by making a 1 kb file and doubling it 20 times.

See how the time increases as the file gets bigger. My cpu went up to 100% as well.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #26 on:** November 23, 2008, 06:12:55 AM »

Ummmmm......Press the space bar 1024 times in Notepad and then save the file, duh!

Why not just use the fsutil program? Why is it that the paranoia levels always increase on the weekends?
