REg: timestamp with milliseconds linux c++

Jul 25th, 2008

hi all,

i want to generate a timestamp with year,date,month,day,hours,min,seconds,milliseconds.
in my code i generated a time integer with the help of time().
with that integer can i generate timestamp with milliseconds.

sample code:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
int len;  
	time_t mytime;
        presentTimeStamp = 1999999950;//this value is return from time()
	mytime = presentTimeStamp;
	 struct tm *mytm;  
        mytm=localtime(&mytime);  
 
     	strftime(timeArray,50,"%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S",mytm); 
 
 
//for milli seconds 
	char timearray[20]; 
	int ms = mytime % 1000;
	sprintf(timearray, ":%03d", ms);
 
      //	printf("%s\n",timearray);  
	strcat(timeArray,timearray);
int len;  
	time_t mytime;
        presentTimeStamp = 1999999950;//this value is return from time()
	mytime = presentTimeStamp;
	 struct tm *mytm;  
        mytm=localtime(&mytime);  
   
     	strftime(timeArray,50,"%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S",mytm); 


//for milli seconds 
	char timearray[20]; 
	int ms = mytime % 1000;
	sprintf(timearray, ":%03d", ms);
     
      //	printf("%s\n",timearray);  
	strcat(timeArray,timearray);

is it right??(i mean milli seconds calculation)

i am using linux(fc6)

thanks

1. Try http://www.meangene.com/notes/time.html
2. As usually, time_t returned from time(...) is in seconds, not milliseconds.
3. Use code and /code tags to present your codes.
