How can I create a file with command line in Windows? in a not-yet-exist folder before the command as the command is to execute both file and folder

Question

I am trying to make a file with the command line with the form of

mkdir -p /path/to/directory && touch /path/to/directory/file.txt

so in my case it will be like this: mkdir -p layout && touch layout/layout.ejs, but I receive a message

touch is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

The folder has been made successfully but the file is not.

Not sure what you're trying to do. You can send text in CMD to a file using the redirect command, >. E.G.

echo "hello world" >c:\temp\layout.ejs

Sends this:

"hello world"

to the file layout.ejs in the C:\temp folder.
