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

Using C++ in MS Visual Studio 2015 (14), I use:

#include 

string NowToString()
{
  chrono::system_clock::time_point p = chrono::system_clock::now();
  time_t t = chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(p);
  char str[26];
  ctime_s(str, sizeof str, &t);
  return str;
}
