I have write some code that can change the modified data. I
search for the first 10 line of the current file, and search

file. I thought it's amazing.
However, I have to write the same line "Modified: " every time
I edit a new file. what a boring and cumbersome job! So, is
there any ways to insert the specific line to the newly edited
file, thought writing some code in .vimrc?
While untested, I suspect it would look something like
autocmd BufWritePre myfile.txt
%s/Modified:\zs.*/\=strftime("%c")/e
which limits it only to the filespec you want (in this case
"myfile.txt" but you could do a glob like "my*template.txt"). It
then performs a substitute on the whole file anywhere
"Modified:..." is found and replaces the stuff after "Modified:"
with the current timestamp.
:help autocmd
:h BufWritePre
:h sub-replace-expression
:h strftime()
