Date and Time

[Calavera]

I have a function that returns a date and hour with a specified format.

int c = 0;
char stringdate[] = {'\0'};

int date(void) {
  
  time_t now;
  struct tm *tm_now;
  char buff[BUFSIZ];
  
  now = time(NULL);
  tm_now = localtime(&now);

  strftime(buff, sizeof buff, "%d-%m-%Y:%H:%M:%S", tm_now);
  printf("%s", buff);
  // stringdate[c++] = buff;
  return 0;
}

My program does a scanf of various characters and then in the end of the program it retrieves the date and time of each character inputted.
But i can only retrieve the date and time of the last inputted character.
How can i do this?

Thanks

char stringdate[] = {'\0'};

You do know that this array is only big enough to hold a single character, right?

Other than that you'll have to clarify your question.

But i can only retrieve the date and time of the last inputted character.
How can i do this?

How can you do what?

Retrieve the date of all inputted characters.

Example: a
26-11-2004:11:50:10 // WIll not appear, it only appears at the end
of the program
b
26-11-2004:11:50:20 // " "

g
26-11-2004:11:51:02 // " "

My program just retrieve the last date: 26-11-2004:11:51:02

I want that it retrieves the 3 datas.

Output: 26-11-2004:11:50:10
26-11-2004:11:50:20
26-11-2004:11:51:02

How about when you receive input via a function, soon as you get the character, input, etc, then you use date() or use some other os specific function for more specific times.
