   Hi Steven,

just a simple question. How can I manage to add a creation timestamp to a file generated by the MERL generator?

Thanks!

	I'd just use a DOS command, e.g. external 'cmd /x /c echo %DATE% %TIME% >>myfile.txt' executeBlocking If you want to timestamp several files from the same run, you can read that timestamp into a variable and use it again. Change >> to > above and then do: variable 'timestamp' write filename 'myfile.txt' read close You can then just output $timestamp as normal into the files you are generating, e.g. '// Generated from MetaEdit+ ' $timestamp
