Hello.

This should work:

Dim stream as New IO.StreamWriter("Path", False)
stream.WriteLine("")
Stream.close()

To make it a null file you can use a FileStream and SetLenght method, but if you were going to start writing new lines right away the suggested StreamWriter with append option False is better.
