printing date and time, formatting

[J3adSeed]

For an assignment i have to do, i have to print the data and time like dos does. this would be:

11/03/2003 1:40p

i used a long and then used ctime to get:

Mon Nov 03 13:40:05 2003


is there any easy way to just get it to format correctly the way i want it?

See strftime().

I guess i'm having some trouble here. The problem is i'm limited to storing the date and time as a 32 bit number. so use an integer and the ctime() function.

it seems that these functions use the tm structure. how can i convert from this integer to a tm struct. once i can do that, it seems it would be pretty easy to get the individual pieces from the time and date.

nevermind i think i figured that part out.

Did you check the strftime() function? It does exactly what you are stating you want to do (if not, please clarify what it does not do that you want it to do).
