Formatting Data/Time Stamp

[Gunner]

Searched and everything came up with current date/time stuff... I have the following I would like to convert to a string formatted for the users settings, is there a function anywhere or do I have to try to roll my own?

date stamp: 101230 so for my settings it would display 12/30/10  but want to format for users settings..
time stamp: 210105 my clock displays 2105 but want to format for users settings..

Am I missing an API or function in the MASM library?

Thanks.

Gunner,

Have you looked in \masm32\datetime ?  There is a help file at \masm32\help\DateTime.chm.

Use the GetLocalDateTime and DateTimeToString procedures.

Damn, how the hell did I miss that?!
Thanks Greg, looks interesting...  :U

When there's that much 'good stuff" to read, it's really easy to miss something.

time - such a simple concept - lol
made so very difficult by technical people
universal time, corrected time, sidereal time, solar time - the list never ends
does anybody really know what time it is ?   :P
(25 or 6 to 4, maybe)

msdn has a reduced set, which is still a little complicated since the introduction of NTFS format

and - they left "time_t" out from that discussion

Ken Nordine (sp?) knew someone who knew what time it was, and he talked about it in his record album "Word Jaz" from 1957 time frame (at least that was when I got the album).

The "good old days". Something to remember is that the days were not really that good, and we were not that old, and we were not talking about the days.
