Reading the actual time out of windows?

[Greber]

Hallo, (using LabWindow/CVI 6.0)

I would like to read the actual time out of Windows to create a Logfile with Timestamp (hh:mm:ss)

Is this possible?
If it is , with which function can I realize this?

thx a lot
Florian

The easiest way is to use the following:

time_t tm;
struct tm *xtm;
char msg[64];

t = time (NULL);
tm = localtime (&t);
strcpy (msg, asctime (tm));
DebugPrintf ("%s", msg);

It produces this output:
Wed Apr 20 14:50:10 2005

In case you want a different format for the output string, you must use strftime () which permits you to define your own format.

it works and the function strftime() do his job, too.

thank you very much
