How do you get the date and time in c++
Author
I know, I know... "GOOGLE IT!" "USE MSDN!"
MSDN is f***ing useless, it gives me all good answers... but in JScript, Visual Basic, and just about everything else EXCEPT visual c++, despite my filtering the results to only visual c++. As I said before, it''s f***ing useless.
So, my question:
How do I get the Date and Time, and is there a function that returns this in a character string?
cout << "Today is: " << DayofWeek() << ", " << Month() << " " << Day();
Is that too much to ask? It''s a simple question but its hard to find the answer. No, Microsoft, I''m not interested in JScript, despite your insistence.
Thanks,

Luckily for you, I do. Time Management Routines. You''ll want to look at time(), localtime() and strftime().
The key is to use MSDN *and* Google. That way you get Google''s rankings, and no extraneous results. Try this search on google: "site:msdn.microsoft.com get current time"
