[Nikesh Jagtap]

I have a DWORD and i want to convert it into a time format. Eg. DWORD is = 41107ECE I want it should be in format as = 2004/08/04 Wed 06:14:38 UTC How can I do this conversion? Plz help me. Regards Nikesh

Clearly that depends on the encoding of the date in the DWORD, which you haven't mentioned.

Assuming that you mean your DWORD is actually a time_t value then you can use one of the Time Management Routines[^].

It's time for a new signature.

This way:

char buf[0x20];
DWORD dw = 0x41107ECE;
time_t t = dw;
struct tm * ptime;
ptime=gmtime(&t);
strftime(buf,0x20,"%Y/%m/%d %a %H:%M:%S UTC\n",ptime);
printf(buf);
