Ok I got a small challenge for all interested people

I am making a bot that stores date&time in a file. I can get this from the file and into a String.
Now I need to compare this date&time and compare it to the current date&time. I need to get the difference between the two and get the number of days that have passed.

I am trying to do it myself, searched everywhere but couldn't find a good example or explenation anywhere so I'm asking the experts here for help.

It seems like that CTime isn't supported so I have to do it with time_t . (Since Mervbot doesn't use MFC)

Can someone help me by posting some example code or send me in the correct direction?

Thanks

Store it as binary?

but how can you get that back into time_t value?

You can use mktime to turn this tm structure:

Code: Show/Hide typedef struct {    int tm_hour;   /* hour (0 - 23) */    int tm_isdst;  /* daylight saving time enabled/disabled */    int tm_mday;   /* day of month (1 - 31) */    int tm_min;    /* minutes (0 - 59) */    int tm_mon;    /* month (0 - 11 : 0 = January) */    int tm_sec;    /* seconds (0 - 59) */    int tm_wday;   /* Day of week (0 - 6 : 0 = Sunday) */    int tm_yday;   /* Day of year (0 - 365) */    int tm_year;   /* Year less 1900 */ }

into a time_t

No, just use MGB's way of doing it. That will automatically store it as a time_t.
