Hi All,

I am working on a code which reads different A2D channels. I need to have a time stamp for each reading. So, Ideally I want to write a function that outputs the current time as a string or decimal numbers. I have the following function based on the examples posted, but it does not work. Could I get some help on this?

Thanks, hamid

char *RTClock(void) {

get the current time from the terminal struct tm t; char t_buf[32]; int i; char *rtcp; pinter to the real time string (int buffer) rtcp = &t_buf[0]; put the address in rtcp printf("Enter current date and time:\n"); printf("YYYY MM DD HH MM SS[enter]\n"); scanf("%d %d %d %d %d %d", &t.tm_year, &t.tm_mon, &t.tm_mday , &t.tm_hour, &t.tm_min, &t.tm_sec);

adjust for tm structure required values t.tm_year = t.tm_year - 1900; t.tm_mon = t.tm_mon - 1;

set the time set_time(mktime(&t)); time_t seconds = time(NULL); display the time strftime(t_buf, 32, "%m,%d,%y %I:%M:%S %p\n\r", localtime(&seconds));

printf(" \n\r Time as a formatted string = %s", t_buf); printf("Time as a basic string = %s \n\r", ctime(&seconds)); check the pointer printf(" The pointer to the string is: %p \n\r", &t_buf); check the time wait(5); for (i=0; i < sizeof(t_buf); i++) { printf("%c ", *(rtcp + i)); } pc.printf("\n\r The hour, and minute in time structure was %d:%d \n", t.tm_hour, t.tm_min); pc.printf("\n\r fun.ends





















\n\r"); return rtcp; }

When quoting code please use the <<code>> and <</code>> tags for clarity:

Below is a snippet of code I used for getting a BBC Basic compatible formatted time string: like: Sun,02 Feb 2003.18:33:30

 time_t seconds;

 seconds = time(NULL);   // get current time from mbed RTC
 strftime(buf,40, "%a,%d %m %Y.%H:%M:%S\r", localtime(&seconds));
