Thread: Output Text File Name by Today's Date

Hello,

I am working with various log files, and I will be using the log file to extract certain criteria based on some condition. However, I need a program that will save a text file by today's date. Is there an easy way to accomplish this...maybe by calling a library? Below is just an example of outputting to a text file by manually putting today's date, however, I would rather automate that.

Any insight/recommendations would be great. Thanks!

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main () {
      ofstream outF;
      outF.open ("20070709.txt");
      outF << "Output Text Junk Here...";
      outF.close();
      
      return 0;
}
