Date conversion
Hi guys,
I know how to convert current date into whatever format,
eg. 2006-01-10, or 10-01-06
But, now I have a string that is "10.01.06" (DD.MM.YY), and how do you guys convert it to 2006-01-10 string using the time/date function under C?
Any input would be appreciated, thanks.
I can definitely use strtok to deal with it, but is there any quicker way by using time/date function under C?
Using time functions, I might do something like this.
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> int main() { struct tm local; char text[20] = "10.01.06"; if ( sscanf(text, "%d.%d.%d", &local.tm_mday, &local.tm_mon, &local.tm_year) == 3 ) { local.tm_mon -= 1; local.tm_year += 100; if ( strftime(text, sizeof text, "%Y-%m-%d", &local) ) { puts(text); } } return 0; } /* my output 2006-01-10 */
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
