How about writing a small bash script to write the stuff with 'date' and 'wc' and so on and then putting a thing in .vimrc to append it to the top of every file. Just a thought, have never done anything like.

Here's a start:
touch create_source_file.sh && chmod 0755 create_source_file.sh
then put the following in that file:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

for filename in $*

do

    echo "/* this comment at the top" >> $filename

    echo "  this one too!" >> $filename

    echo "  the date is `date`" >> $filename

    echo "*/" >> $filename

done

Code:

#!/bin/sh



echo "/* comment one " > $1

echo "*  date created: `date`" >> $1

echo "*  comment last */" >> $1



vi $1

but only works on first file.

You could try adding this to your .vimrc:

Code:

autocmd BufNewFile *.c 0r!new_c_file

and adding this file (named new_c_file in my example) somewhere in your PATH:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

echo -n "/*

 * Hello, I'm a new C file

 * Begin date: "

date

echo " */"

This only inserts the text when you're editing a *new* (previously nonexistant) file ending in .c

The manual suggests putting autocmd! before the autocmd line in your .vimrc, as there are apparently circumstances where the .vimrc could be sourced twice. autocmd! drops all previously set autocmds so you don't set one up twice.
