Is there a way to create all m files with already filled in some predetermined lines that are needed for every file like clear all; close all; author name etc?

Is there a way to do some setting changes like in startup.m so that whenever I open a new M file it is already filled with the data I wanted and put in some file.

Have a template file sitting out there (e.g. mytemplate.m) that has a function outline & comments (author etc) already filled in. When you want to create a new function, open this file and the first thing you do is SAVEAS the desired file name, then edit your new function.

You are right and this will work and that is what I do or have been doing. But what I wanted was something like changing the settings so that whenever I open new M file, it is already filled with some predetermined data that I tell in the settings.
