How can I make a 100mb "empty" file ?

Like a blank picture?>

I just want to use up HD space basically.

until($i == 100000000){print F "\0"}
close F;

Download the dummy file creator.

Sounds malicious to me. Why would you want to clutter up your computer with 100mb of empty file? I'll bet you guys are gonna DOS someone. Don't people have more creative, more productive things to do with thier evil minds? :Q

If that's not what you're up to, I apologize. If you are, I hope you get busted.

I needed a long mpeg for testing here a few weeks ago, so I took an mp3 (mpeg audio track would suffice for testing purposes) of pure silence. few hundred KBs for 4 mins. Copied it to 1.mp3 and 2.mp3, then did the following:

(if you're a Windows user at least)

1. Open a DOS prompt
2. Go to the directory with those 2 files in them.
3. copy con blah.bat
@echo off
type 1.mp3 >> 2.mp3
type 2.mp3 >> 1.mp3
type 1.mp3 >> 2.mp3
type 2.mp3 >> 1.mp3
type 1.mp3 >> 2.mp3
type 2.mp3 >> 1.mp3
type 1.mp3 >> 2.mp3
type 2.mp3 >> 1.mp3
^Z (control Z)
4. blah.bat
5. Repeat if needed.
