Post by: BCCISProf on September 28, 2006, 06:47:49 pm

Is there any way of inserting the current date and time stamp in the editor?

Thank you.

No, unless there is some hidden shortcut that I don't know....

No I don't think there is. If you use SVN you can do this though......

Code: cpp

/*
 * $Date$
 * $Revision$
 * $Author$
 * $HeadURL$
 */

Check tomorrow's nightly (I don't think this can make it in tonight's) ;).
Here are the newly added editor abbreviations:

tday = 20060928
tdayu = 20060928
today = 2006-09-28
todayu = 2006-09-28
now = 2006-09-28-20.48
nowl = 2006-09-28-20.48.58
nowu = 2006-09-28-17.48
nowlu = 2006-09-28-17.48.58
wdu = Thursday

(these with the 'u' suffix, refer to UTC times).

To use any of them just type the abbreviation (e.g. "nowl") in the editor and press Ctrl-J.
