I have a question on creating templates on vim-LaTeX suite.
I placed a template file on

/usr/share/vim/addons/ftplugin/latex-suite/templates/

with the content of

<+      +>      !comp!  !exe!
%        File: !comp!expand("%:p:t")!comp!
%     Created: !comp!strftime("%a %b %d %I:00 %p %Y ").substitute(strftime('%Z'), '\<\(\w\)\(\w*\)\>\(\W\|$\)', '\1', 'g')!comp!
% Last Change: !comp!strftime("%a %b %d %I:00 %p %Y ").substitute(strftime('%Z'), '\<\(\w\)\(\w*\)\>\(\W\|$\)', '\1', 'g')!comp!
%
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[top=1in, bottom=1in, left=1in, right=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{{<++>}}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\newcommand{\norm}[1]{\lVert#1\rVert}
\begin{document}
\lhead{<++>}
\rhead{<++>}
\cfoot{\thepage}
<++>
\end{document}

Then I created the soft link of it in directory:

/var/lib/vim/addons/ftplugin/latex-suite/templates/

If everything goes well, when create a new tex file on vim and type

:TTemplate

on the command line, I should be getting:
File with file name,
Created with date and time of creation
Last Change with date and time of when the last change was made.
and starting cursor should be on \lhead{ cursor here }

However, it seems that it won't show up any vim-formatted dates and initial position of the cursor doesn't be on where I want it to be.

Is there any solution to this problem?

I am using ubuntu 14.04, vim-latex suit.
Thank in advance.

Turns out, spaces were tabs, not spaces.
My post on stackoverflow has more information. Thank you.
