Timestamp challenges
-
I really need some help with this one. I have wasted too much time and not made much progress. What I am trying to do is to read a timestamp from index.dat generated by Internet Explorer. The timestamp is in the file in the following format "00 14 AC 72 BE 95 C2 01". A document I read takes the value and reverses the order so that the value is "0x01C295BE72AC1400" and then passes it into the w32tm function as follows: "w32tm /ntte 0x01c295BE72AC1400" and gets a return of "146792 02:41:12.0000000 11/26/2002 8:41:12 PM (local time)". I'm trying to accomplish this within my Visual C++ program but just can't get it. I'm certain there are others out there who are smarter and more experienced when it comes to such issues. I just want to be able to read the data from the file and pass it into asctime to get a meaningful date and time stamp. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Many Thanks

If you know VB, you might take a peek at the ie.vbs file that accompanies this article.
