- Navigate to the folder where you want to create your text file.
- Click on the Create New File link.
- Enter the name of the file to be created in the available field in the top-right corner of your window. You do need to add the file extension to the name, for example script.pl for a Perl script, not just script.
- Select the type of document from the drop-down list. Each type of file adds specific information to the text file: * Text Document - No text is added to the file.
- Click on the Create button. The file has now been created and the display updated to show the new file.
* HTML Document - No text is added to the file.
* Perl Script - Automatically adds the path to Perl to the top of the file. Make sure to double-check that the path is correct.
* Shell Script - Automatically adds the path to the Shell executable to the top of the file. Make sure to double-check that the path is correct.
