How Create Multiple Blank Text Files

I am running batch jobs on a job scheduler. One of the step is called 6 times so that we can execute the step parallely (to utilize the max server resource and to execuet the step in less than 2 hours rather 6hours). At the end of each instance it has to create a text file (6 instances = 6 text files) and the next job in the queue only runs when it could find all six files,

I am trying to create 6 dummy text files using vb.net.

1. to create a text file like file1.txt, when each instance of the step is completed running and it should exit the code after a file is create.

2. In this manner the code is executed 6 times and it must produce 6 files like file1.txt ....... file6.txt.

right know the maximum code i could write was ( and this is not correct)

Public
Function CopyFile1()
As
Integer

[Code].....
