Customize Xcode snippet library

Question

Thank you for reading my question.

I want to customize my Xcode snippet library.

I've read this article. http://www.icodeblog.com/2011/12/06/using-xcode-4-snippets/

Now I want to customize my comment that insert date(today) automatically after my comment text.

ex:

//This is my comment --- 2012/05/15

The date(2012/05/15) is automatically generate by Xcode.

Is this possible thing?

P.S. My Xcode version is 4.3.2

Thank you.

The link in the article no longer works. I think it's a good idea to edit the question in case there are new solutions for this. – Ietta

As a snippet? Not possible. However, you can easily create a Service in Automator that calls date +%Y-%m-%d.
