Insert Date, Time, Created By, Modified by... etc file properties in m-file

Is it possible to insert the file proprties automatically in m-file (Ofcourse in commented form)

May be you can write the required data in a text file..and copy it in m file, every time you need it...?

I guess probably no. But usually you can use tokens in your file when you have your functions/programs under source control (like e.g. subversion).

Thanks for answer.

Please can you give me any example, how to use tokens.

%$Id:

%$Log:

Those are the only two tokens that we end up using in practice.

The times recorded for them are not the times the files were modified, but rather the times that the files were "checked in"

[Titus Edelhofer]

For subversion (or cvs) you have tags like $Id$, so you add some line

% $Id$

to your file and set the corresponding property for the file (subversion specific) and when you check in that file, $Id$ will be replaced by something like $Id: mycode.m 2012-01-02 Titus$. Other source control systems work similarly.

Right, sorry I should have used $ instead of : at the end of the token.
