comparing time

[swiss powder]

ok, I've been looking around quite a bit, but am still having problems with this.

I can easily display the time with a variety of code, a simple version being..


time_t rawtim;
rawtim=time(NULL);
cout<<ctime(&rawtim);

..but
I need to compare the time(specifically the hour)to see if it has past 17:00

is there any way I can stick this into a char array to isolate the hour to compare it? or is there another, easier way?

thanks for any help,

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

struct tm *timeInfo;

int main ( void )
{
  time_t rawtime;
  time ( &rawtime );
  timeInfo = localtime ( &rawtime );
  if ( timeInfo->tm_hour < 17 )
    cout<<"Good"<<endl;
  else
    cout<<"Bad"<<endl; 
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
