Does Anybody Know How I Could Get The Date (In Short Format)

You can get the current time with time(), convert it to a tm structure with either gmtime() or localtime() and get a formatted string with strftime() from the tm structure.

Code:

---


#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

main() {
        char date_Ymd[8+1];
        struct tm *gsapdh;
        time_t gsaintps;
        gsaintps=time(NULL);
        gsapdh = localtime(&gsaintps);
        strftime(date_Ymd, 9, "%Y%m%d", gsapdh);

        printf("Date_Ymd: [%s]\n",date_Ymd);

}

You can format as ever you wish.

Don't forget,

Code:

---

int main() {

---

Try ctime().
