tm structure and time_t

Another way of using time is the SYSTEMTIME structure. With this structure you have access to many properties of time. Here's a little sample to demonstrate. // cppConsole.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application. // #include "stdafx.h" #include [code] int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { SYSTEMTIME st; GetSystemTime( &st ); std::cout << "Day: "; std::cout << st.wDay; std::cout << "\n"; std::cout << "DayOfWeek: "; std::cout << st.wDayOfWeek; std::cout << "\n"; std::cout << "Hour: "; std::cout << st.wHour; std::cout << "\n"; std::cout << "Milliseconds: "; std::cout << st.wMilliseconds; std::cout << "\n"; std::cout << "Minute: "; std::cout << st.wMinute; std::cout << "\n"; std::cout << "Month: "; std::cout << st.wMonth; std::cout << "\n"; std::cout << "Second: "; std::cout << st.wSecond; std::cout << "\n"; std::cout << "Year: "; std::cout << st.wYear; std::cout << "\n"; char wait; std::cin >> wait; return 0; } [/code]
