Is their is any way so that a particular comment should appear in every cpp file?

I have a particular format of comment i want to set that comment should appear in the beginning of every .cpp file i create. How can i do that?

Looking for a creator specific way (AFAIK : none!) ?

And why copy-paste is so difficult?

You can go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> Snippets. Create a new snippet with your comment.
To insert it into a file just type the name of your snippet and press Ctrl+Space (or whatever shortcut you set for code completion). Voila, your comment is inserted.

@p-himik : that was new to me.. thanks :) :)

Also you can create a licence template but Qt Creator will insert it into .h files too.
Go to Tools -> Options -> C++ -> File Naming. Select there a file with your comment.

Rahul Das, pratik041, you are welcome. Don't afraid to shin in the Options :) There are many interesting features.

:) :) No one is afraid.. But, yeah, its good to explore the tool.. Its just that, some like me are addicted to command line !!

ya you are right but sometime asking question makes the thing more clear and you will be able to know new things what by mistake sometime missed.

I used also a small perl script to apply a license file at the beginning of each project file if I forgot to do from the beginning of the project.
