Code Templates and Today's Date

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to build a code template which includes today's date? A macro something like $Date()? I couldn't see any macros available to do that.

Look at the FPC documentation.
You can use :

Code: [Select]


{$I %DATE%}
{$I %TIME%}

That doesn't do what I want. What I want to do is define a code template called, say, com. The template for com will look like:

// Changed: %DATE% Comment

I want %DATE% to be automatically substituted with today's date when I insert this comment line in code with "com" then CTRL+J so the text will be inserted as:

// Changed: 27/03/2006 Comment

I added the code macros $date, $time and $datetime.
Create a new template and add whatever you need.

I added the code macros $date, $time and $datetime.

Thanks. I just tried them in Lazarus 0.9.14 and they work great!

I created a new template and added the code macros $date, $time and $datetime to try them out in Lazarus, it worked for me too.

(Clears throat) You're adding a "me too" to a message which is 16 years old.

Please don't do that, or people will start suspecting that you're a potentially-malicious AI responding to patterns it recognises.
