C++ mktime returning random dates

Question

I\'m trying to convert a date string to a time_t, but mktime() is returning seemingly random dates:

string datetime = \"2014-12-10 10:30\";
stru         


        

Answer 1

The below code would do the work, if you want current system time in an format

 time_t current_time;
 struct tm *loctime;

 memset(buffer,0,strlen(buffer));
 current_time = time(NULL);
 loctime = localtime(¤t_time);
 strftime(buffer,250,"--> %d/%m/%y  %H:%M:%S",loctime);
