Create a timer

Member_14865432

Good Morning everybody. I'm developing a program in C++. It is supposed that the program has to read from excel and write the data in a .txt file. It has to do that during 10 minutes, and after that save the .txt and start doing it again. How can I do the timer? May you help me please? The program I write is this one: (Not sure if is correct)

#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include

using namespace std;
struct vehiculo
{
char VIN[8]
char hora[19]
};
int main()
vehiculo cocheentrante
{
File *F;
File *G;

//Abrir archivo de Excel

F = fopen("C:\\Users\\Ford\\Usuarios\\Cristales\\VINES.csv", "rt");

if (F == NULL)
{
    cout << "No se pudo abrir el archivo de entrada. \\n";
}
else
{
    cout << "El archivo se abrio correctamente. \\n";
}

//Crear archivo txt

G = fopen("dd\_mm\_aaaa\_\_hh\_mm\_ss.txt","w");

if((G = fopen("dd\_mm\_aaaa\_\_hh\_mm\_ss.txt","w"))!= NULL)
{

//Leer archivo de excel

    while(!feof(F))
    {
        fgets(VIN,8,F);
        fgets(hora,19,F);
        fprintf(G, "%s %s", &VIN, &hora);
    }
}
fclose(G);
fclose(F);

}

Let's start with deciding if you want to use British English or American English. ;)

See C++ Timer using std::chrono · GitHub[^]. Alternatively you could just use one of the simple time functions (time, _time32, _time64 | Microsoft Docs[^]) and monitor it as your code runs.

How about create your program to just do the file I/O, and then let windows handle the timer/scheduling part?
