Current date and time as string

Question

I wrote a function to get a current date and time in format: DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS. It works but let\'s say, its pretty ugly. How can I do exactly the sam

Answer 1

you can use asctime() function of time.h to get a string simply .

time_t _tm =time(NULL );

struct tm * curtime = localtime ( &_tm );
cout<<"The current date/time is:"<

Sample output:

The current date/time is:Fri Oct 16 13:37:30 2015
