Need help printing time to a file.

[kl3pt0.2256]

Hello everyone, I have been trying to figure out how to write the current system time to a file. I came across this code:

int main()
{
time_t ltime;
ltime=time(NULL);
printf("%s",asctime(localtime(&ltime)));
getchar(); 
}

The above code works just fine, but it prints to the screen. I was wondering how I would get ltime to print to a file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can open a file for writing with

FILE *OPTR;
OPTR = fopen( "filename.txt", "w" );

and write to it using

fprintf( OPTR, "This is the text I want to print to the file.\n" ); /* works just like printf, but the first argument is the file pointer*/

The thing is though, I'm using time() for the timestamp, and in order to do that, I need to have the asctime(localtime(&ltime)), so how do I create the asctime() function. Am I able to do it like this?:

int main()
{
          FILE *OPTR;
          time_t ltime;
          fopen("filename.txt","w");
          ltime=time(NULL);
          fprintf(OPTR,"%s",asctime(localtime(&ltime)));
}
