Creating TimeStamp
-
Hi all, I'm trying to create a time stamp [format: yyyymmddhhmmss], but as always I'm experiencing some problems. I have tried the following:
char dateString [20]; char timeString [20]; struct tm *newtime; time_t long_time; time( &long_time ); newtime = localtime( &long_time ); sprintf(dateString,"%d%d%d",newtime->tm_year, newtime->tm_mon, newtime->tm_mday); sprintf(timeString,"%d%d%d",newtime->tm_hour, newtime->tm_min, newtime->tm_sec);
But I not very familiar with the expression to use. Can anyone please help?? Many Thanks Regards

Hi, For the year, you need to add 1900 (see MSDN for more information). So, your
sprintfturn to:sprintf(dateString,"**%4d%02d%02d**",newtime->tm_year **+ 1900** , newtime->tm_mon, newtime->tm_mday); sprintf(timeString,"**%02d%02d%02d**",newtime->tm_hour, newtime->tm_min, newtime->tm_sec);The bold letters are those places where I made changes. Hope that helps. Kiran. -

Use:
_tcsftime(dateString, 20, _T("%Y%m%d%H%M%S"), newtime);
Thank you very much for the help. Regards,
