PowerShell - File and Directory Operations

How can you create multiple empty files named file1.txt, file2.txt, and file3.txt in C:\Docs using a single PowerShell command?

A1..3 | ForEach-Object { New-Item -Path "C:\Docs\file$_.txt" -ItemType File }

BNew-Item -Path 'C:\Docs\file1.txt','C:\Docs\file2.txt','C:\Docs\file3.txt' -ItemType File

CNew-Item -Path 'C:\Docs' -Name 'file1.txt','file2.txt','file3.txt' -ItemType File

DNew-Item -Path 'C:\Docs\file*.txt' -ItemType File

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand looping for multiple files
PowerShell can loop with 1..3 and create files dynamically.
Step 2: Analyze options
1..3 | ForEach-Object { New-Item -Path "C:\Docs\file$_.txt" -ItemType File } uses a loop to create each file with correct names. New-Item -Path 'C:\Docs\file1.txt','C:\Docs\file2.txt','C:\Docs\file3.txt' -ItemType File tries to create multiple files in one command but New-Item does not accept array paths. New-Item -Path 'C:\Docs' -Name 'file1.txt','file2.txt','file3.txt' -ItemType File misuses -Name with multiple values. New-Item -Path 'C:\Docs\file*.txt' -ItemType File uses wildcard which does not create files.
Final Answer:
1..3 | ForEach-Object { New-Item -Path "C:\Docs\file$_.txt" -ItemType File } -> Option A
