Hello everyone,

I want to clear the content of a shell file with a single command line. I don't want to use "rm" because I want to keep the file, just empty.
How can I clear its content?

Thank you :D

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 4.0

    Hi,

    Or simply if we are really lazy: 

    > myfile
