{{review}} {{TipImported |id=141 |previous=140 |next=143 |created=October 18, 2001 |complexity=basic |author=Mohit Kalra |version=5.7 |rating=84/32 |category1=Automated Text Insertion |category2=C }} Below is a tip that the C/C++ Newbies may find interesting and handy to use. The following code will add a function heading and position your cursor just after Description so that one can document as one proceeds with code. <pre> function FileHeading() let s:line=line(".") call setline(s:line,"/*********************************************") call append(s:line,"* Description - ") call append(s:line+1,"* Author - Mohit Kalra") call append(s:line+2,"* Date - ".strftime("%b %d %Y")) call append(s:line+3,"* *******************************************/") unlet s:line endfunction imap <F4> <Esc>mz:execute FileHeading()<RET>`zjA </pre> Where <Esc> stands for ^V+ESC and <RET> for ^V+ENTER ==Comments== To get this working type F4 in insert mode. The `zja is not a typo. Observe that: # mz is actually marking the first line that is inserted because of this macro. That is, it remembers the position of /****** # `z actually takes the cursor to that marker. # j will take you one line below that marked line. # A will put you in Append mode at the end of the line where the cursor is. Effectively, you have a cursor that is in insert mode and is positioned right after "Description" so that you can type it then and there itself. ---- "I was wondering however if you can insert some block of text as a header for a newly created file?" Put this in your .vimrc file :autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.java <vim command that you want run> I use it to read a stored program heading into my programs :autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.C r ~/style/mainh ---- Not sure if this is of use to you and I apologise since it's not the nicest or most elegant way of doing things, but a way to get text you type automatically inserted into code is by using a combination of command and functions. here's one I wrote for a friend whose messing around with c# and getting bored of writing!:- <pre> ### put the following in you vimrc command -nargs=+ CSprop :call Prop(<f-args>) ## function to do the business! function Prop(return,property,name) normal o<Esc> let currline = line(".") call setline(currline, "public " . a:return . " " . a:property) normal o<Esc> let currline = currline + 1 call setline(currline, "{") normal o<Esc> let currline = currline + 1 call setline(currline, "\tget { return this." . a:name . "; }") normal o<Esc> let currline = currline + 1 call setline(currline, "\tset { this." . a:name . " = value; }") normal o<Esc> let currline = currline + 1 call setline(currline, "}") endfunction </pre> ...so now, with that loaded in when you type the following command in VIM :CSprop returnval propval nameval the following text will be inserted in your script:- <pre> public returnval propval { get { return this.nameval; } set { this.nameval = value; } } </pre> ---- when i use command similar to the one below to add stored header to my new program file, it works. However every time i reopen the file, the header is getting added, which is not i want. What is going wrong here? :autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.C r ~/style/mainh yahoo.com ---- Remove BufRead ---- Instead of using <RET> use <CR> -->imap <F4> <Esc>mz:execute FileHeading()<CR>`zjA ----
