Re: write date in a new fortran file

:exe executes vim stuff, not system stuff. Maybe you want

read !date

if the date command's output is what you want; I would want to use a format, say

read !date "+\%y-\%b-\%d \%T"

I would prefer using the built in strftime, because it's simpler, and fits with the other puts:

put=strftime('%d-%b-%y %T')
