(while (and (car file-list) (not (string= (car file-list) (concat "untitled" (number-to-string cnt) ".txt"))))
(setq file-list (cdr file-list)))
(car file-list))
(defun exsitp-untitled (file-list)
(while (and (car file-list) (not (string= (car file-list) "untitled.txt")))
(setq file-list (cdr file-list)))
(car file-list))
(if (not (exsitp-untitled file-list))
"untitled.txt"
(let ((cnt 2))
(while (exsitp-untitled-x file-list cnt)
(setq cnt (1+ cnt)))
(concat "untitled" (number-to-string cnt) ".txt")
)
)

(defun my-dired-create-file (file)
(interactive
(list (read-file-name "Create file: " (concat (dired-current-directory) (create-new-file (directory-files (dired-current-directory))))))
)
