RE: [Dev-C++] Time stamping an output file.

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

I am sorry obviously i did not understand the question. I thought you
wanted to manipulate the date/time stamp of the files, but you wanted to
put a string to the filename. You can use the functions ctime() and
time() of time.h in the style:
 
 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
 
int main(void)
{
  char filename[]="some filename - ";
  time_t tp=time(NULL);
  char *s=ctime(&tp);
  char *newname=malloc(strlen(filename)+strlen(s)+1);
  
 
  if(!newname)
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
 
  strcpy(newname, filename);
  strcat(newname, s);
  
  puts(newname);
  
  return 0;
}
 
 
 
Keep in mind that this operation is portable, that is it works
everywhere.

You can do it with win32 api:
 
Syntax
 
#include <io.h>
int getftime(int handle, struct ftime *ftimep);
int setftime(int handle, struct ftime *ftimep);
