> I am looking to do a linux style 'touch' from IDL.

Does this do the same thing?

pro touch, path
if file_test(path, /DIRECTORY, /WRITE) then begin
temp_file = filepath('touch_temp_file.txt', ROOT_DIR=path)
openw, lun, filename, /GET_LUN
free_lun, lun
file_delete, temp_file
endif else if file_test(path, /WRITE) then begin
openw, lun, filename, /GET_LUN
free_lun, lun
endif else begin
message, 'PATH must be a file or directory with write priveleges.'
endelse
end
