How to create multiple text files each with different names using a batch file?

Question

I would like to create multiple empty text files each with a different name from a list of 70+ names, all within the same folder.

Ex: cat, dog, computer, tree.

To output to:

cat.txt

dog.txt

computer.txt

tree.txt

Sorry about that, I only have experience with front end web developement and after a long Google search I still couldn't figure out how to do it. — Oana, Jun 29 '17 at 17:35

If you want a CR/LF (0xd,0xa) in the "empty" file replace the "**break**" with "**echo.**" – Paul Houle Jun 29 '17 at 17:08
