Re: inserting date and time at the cursor location

[kgold]

I don't know about xemacs, but here's the function I use in emacs:

(defun insert-date ()
  "Insert date at the current cursor position in the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (insert (format-time-string "%d %B %Y ")))

Bonus 1:

I bind it to a key like this:

(define-key esc-map "D" 'insert-date)

Bonus 2:

If you want a time stamp updated automatically every time you write:

; time stamp (Time-stamp: " " in first eight lines of file)

(add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp)
(setq time-stamp-active t)
(setq time-stamp-format "%02d %:b %:y %02H:%02M:%02S")
