Time stamping

[AndyHollywood]

I am trying to add a time stamp to a stream that is outputting to text file:

fprintf(pDEBUG, "DEBUGFILTER\tCalled %d times \n",++Called);

how would i go about getting a very very accurae stamp into this stream?

cheers in advance

Andy

This will go down to the milli seconds.

You'll need:

#include <time.h> // needed for time and delta time
#include <sys/timeb.h>



struct _timeb timebuffer;
char *timeline;
_ftime( &timebuffer );
char cTime[25];

timeline = ctime( & ( timebuffer.time ) );

sprintf(cTime,&quot;%.8s.%0.3u\n&quot;,&timeline[11],timebuffer.millitm);

AfxMessageBox(cTime);

This code gives a basic time stamp

#include <ctime>

struct tm *ptr;
time_t lt;

lt = time(NULL);
ptr = localtime(&lt);

cout << asctime(ptr) << endl;
