Thread: returning strings

char *GetFormattedTime() {
char Time[1024];
ZeroMemory(Time, sizeof(Time));
GetTimeFormat(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, NULL, NULL, "hh':'mm':'ss tt", Time, sizeof(Time));
return Time;
}

now, this works when i go "
MessageBox(NULL, GetFormattedTime(), "", MB_OK);

but when i try to write to a file:
fprintf(FILE, GetFormattedTime());

it only prints two characters: 0
any ideas what's wrong?

I believe you're missing your formatting:

/code

fprintf( stream, "%s", GetFormattedTime( ) );

/code

See if that doen't help.
