I have an application that writes to another application and needs to provide the date + timezone of the system. I have been using strftime with the %z argument to get the timezone, and it has been working very well on Linux. However, last week we decided to merge it to solaris just to find out that %z is not present. Someone suggested...
Through profiling I've discovered that the sprintf here takes a long time. Is there a better performing alternative that still handles the leading zeros in the y/m/d h/m/s fields? SYSTEMTIME sysTime; GetLocalTime( &sysTime ); char buf[80]; for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) { sprintf(buf, "%4d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d", sysTime.wYear...
I'm getting the compiler error: (83) error: improper pointer/integer combination: arg #1. Here's the code that is doing it: char boot_time[BUFSIZ]; ... Line 83: strftime(boot_time, sizeof(boot_time), "%b %e %H:%M", localtime(table[0].time)); where table is a struct and time is a time_t member. I read that "improper pointer/integ...

I'm trying to find an easy way to build forms which show dates in the Australian format (dd/mm/yyyy). This was the only way I could find to do it. It seems like there should be a better solution. Things to note: Created a new widget which renders date value in dd/mm/yyyy format Created new date field to prepend the locate date for...
In /initializers/time_formats.rb I have this: Time::DATE_FORMATS[:profile] = "%m / %d / %Y" However this obviously produces dates such as: 09 / 08 / 2001 Google tells me my best bet is to use some kind of gsub regular expression to edit out the 0's. Is this true or is there a better alternative? ...
Here's the sort of time formatting I'm after: 2009-10-08 04:31:33.918700000 -0500 I'm currently using this: strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z", ts); Which gives: 2009-10-11 13:42:57 CDT Which is close, but not exact. I can't seem to find anything on displaying '-0500' at the end. Plus I'm getting the seconds as an int. ...
I didn't realize this, but apparently Python's strftime function doesn't support dates before 1900: >>> from datetime import datetime >>> d = datetime(1899, 1, 1) >>> d.strftime('%Y-%m-%d') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: year=1899 is before 1900; the datetime strftime() methods requi...

We have a C++/MFC application which allows users to customize date formatting via configuration files. Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, I pass the format string to CTime::Format("< format string >") to do the actual formatting. Under the covers, Format calls a variant of the standard C function strftime(). Naturally, the user can ac...

Okay, I really know this has GOT to be the long way around doing this... however, what I want is relatively simple one would think. I have a database with a timestamp column. I am using iPhone SDK with SQLite3. I want to have SQLite3 get all records for today (where timestamp >= midnight this morning) .. What i have come up with (th...
