convert from char to CString. for Time and Date

[TheMillionDollarMan]

How can I do this?

I want to getthe time and date from when a process starts to when it finishes.

char charDate ;
char charTimeStart;
_strdate( charDate );
_strtime( charTimeStart );

Process....

char charDate2 ;
char charTime2;
_strdate( charDate2 );
_strtime( charTimeEnd2 );

But I want to compare before and after the process (ie difference in Time).


To do this I have tried
intTime = (int)charTimeStart;
But this doesn retrun anything meaningful.


Thanks

Use what you already have to display the beginning and end times. To get the difference, use the following, which will give you the difference between the two in seconds:

time_t begin_time;
time_t end_time;
double elapsed_seconds;

  time(&begin_time);

  // do your work

  time(&end_time);

  elapsed_seconds = difftime(end_time, begin_time);

Hope this helps...
