How to version files?

Post by kwooda333 »

Does TextPad have any feature that allows me to put in some kind of placeholder and have it automatically replace it with the current date and/or time when the file is saved?

The nearest is, as documented in the help:

How to Keep a Log

You can keep a log in the same way as with Notepad:

1. On the first line of a document, type the following at the left margin, making sure you include the period.
.LOG

2. On the File menu, choose Save.

Note:

Every time you open this document, TextPad will append the current time and date to the end of the document, using the formats specified for Windows.
