No need to create a file.  Try this:
echo. | myprog.exe

This doesn't work if you feed a batch file either but it does work if you
do "echo. | pause" but I can't see any real use for that.

And this can be:
  echo Y | del *.*

The advantage to this system is you don't need a separate file for every
type of input and you don't have to assume the existence of the file or
know the path to it.
