time function

Im supposed to make a function that prints the current time in the format like: 11:20:23 pm.


Here is what I got so far. Any hints would be helpful...

Code:

---

void printTime()
{
        time t*clock_p = newtime_t;
        time_t clock;

        int seconds, minutes, hours;

        int T;
        clock = time(clock_p)

                T = (int)clock;

        // lost on rest...






        return;

---

Found this on MSDN:

Code:

---

// crt_asctime.c
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

struct tm *newtime;
time_t aclock;

int main( void )
{
  time( &aclock );  // Get time in seconds
  newtime = localtime( &aclock );  // Convert time to struct tm form

  /* Print local time as a string */
  printf( "Current date and time: %s", asctime( newtime ) );
}

---

any help following my format above?

Take a look here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...1b(VS.71).aspx

Remarks:
The asctime function converts a time stored as a structure to a character string. The timeptr value is usually obtained from a call to gmtime or localtime, which both return a pointer to a tm structure, defined in TIME.H.

What about using COleDateTime :

Code:

---

        COleDateTime time =        COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();
        CString szMyTime = time.Format(VAR_TIMEVALUEONLY);

---

?
