Title: [SOLVED] Project Template
Post by: fmc0501 on April 04, 2020, 08:05:28 pm

I'm taking a C++ class on Udemy. Like all the other places that teach "Beginner" C++, everything is done with Console Appliactions. In each class Section, there are multiple projects. So I'm opening several Projects in the Workspace. And in each one of them, I have to remove

Code

using namespace std;

and

Code

cout << "Hello world!" << endl;

How can I make a template without these two lines when I start a new Project?

I've already tried this (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20713729/how-do-i-use-custom-project-templates-in-codeblocks). But when I tried to save it in the Section folder the other section projects were in, it warned me that the files in that folder would be deleted if I finished the action. So I don't know how to call it on this one. But there has to be a way to rid the main.cpp of those two statements.

You can edit the sample.cpp file in the template folder of your installation. Or make your custom console project template. The template is a simple squirrel script, so you could modify it as you like.

See here http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Scripting_Code::Blocks
And more specifically here: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Wizard_scripts
