Hi all,
I have this bash alias:
alias my-date='date +"%A %d %B %Y"'
and this line in vimrc:
set shellcmdflag=-ic
I want to insert (prepend) a timestamp at the beginning of a non-empty
line, without line breaks, but if I type:
:r !my-date
this will print the timestamp on the next line, that is the line below
the cursor.
Is there a way to achieve what I want?
Thanks

I recently set up a map like this:
map <leader>H :exec 'norm i' . system("echo -n 'Chronicle Herald, '") .
system("date +'%A, %B %d, %Y'")<cr>
Perhaps you could experiment with that idea?
