      To clear a file FILE* file; file = fopen("YourFile.txt", "w+"); // "w+" deletes the contents of the file Probably not the best way, but it works for me. Kevin

        You can use the strftime function to format a time/date string or you can use GetSystemTime to get the current time and date from the system.
