Make a user defined comment as the template

[davidlee62]

Hi All,

Want to add a comment phase in the source file top, please advice how to do it.  I'm new in SlickEdit, want to use it program C code, my current version is 11.0. Thanks.

I use an alias to create my file header.

Tools->Options->File Extension->General->Aliases.

I have an alias named 'hdr' that expands to something like this:

Code: [Select]

/*****************************************************************

*
* $Workfile:  $
* $Revision:  $
* $Modtime:  $
*
* $Log: $
*
* Description: %(Description)
*
****************************************************************/
Note that the macro prompts the user to fill in the Description.
There is probably a way to hook this up to run automatically when you create new files of a certain type.

Or is this not what you meant?

Hi Wanderer,

Yes, this is what I want. By the way, SlickEdit has providered a template using XML format, I'd like to know if it also be the same object? Thanks.

Hi Wanderer,

I am not sure the Macro usage, e.g, if I want to insert a date text string, where can i create the variable for referrence? Could you advise a details of how to use the "Ailas Editor" ? Thanks.
