Can i add date time for sublime snippet?

Question

I want to create a snippet that will add a file comment, but I want the snippet to create the DateTime automatically. Can a sublime snippet do that?

<snippet>     <content><![CDATA[ /**  * Author:      $1  * DateTime:    $2  * Description: $3  */  ]]></content>     <!-- Optional: Set a tabTrigger to define how to trigger the snippet -->     <tabTrigger>/header</tabTrigger>     <!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->     <scope>source.css,source.js,source.php</scope> </snippet>

Tools > New Plugin

Paste this:

import datetime, getpass import sublime, sublime_plugin class AddDateCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):     def run(self, edit):         self.view.run_command("insert_snippet", { "contents": "%s" %  datetime.date.today().strftime("%d %B %Y (%A)") } )  class AddTimeCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):     def run(self, edit):         self.view.run_command("insert_snippet", { "contents": "%s" %  datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M") } ) 

Save it as ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User/add_date.py

Then, in Preferences > Key Bindings - User , add:

{"keys": ["ctrl+shift+,"], "command": "add_date" }, {"keys": ["ctrl+shift+."], "command": "add_time" }, 

You can customize the argument passed to strftime to your liking.
