How to create Template file which create a new file having file creation date and time?












1















In /Home/Templates directory, we can put template file. So we can create new file by right clicking. Is there any way we can create new file which have current Date and Time. Something like log file. Which have date and Time as very first line. Or in the name of file.

  • This is slightly similar (at least the second part — having the date in the name of the file).

  • Creating a file having date in name is can be done by touch command. But here I want it as Template.

    • Create a file and put following command



      #!/bin/bash

      touch $(date +"%Y-%b-%d_%H:%M:%S")



    • Mark file for execution



      chmod +x file


      Or Right click on file and select properties. Under Permission tab, tick Allow executing file as program






  2. Step-II




    • Install dconf-editor and run it.

    • Move to org/gnome/nautilus/preferences.

    • Right click on executable-text-activation.

    • Select launch from drop down menu.




  3. Step-III




    • Put that file in Templates folder.




  4. Step-IV
