What have you tried so far? What kind of results are you currently getting? We can't even begin to help until we know what you have and what you've tried.

I wrote this DateClass some time ago, see if you find a use for it. Study carefully and
you might find what you wanted.

i had tried to seach sources in internet.
but mostly is display in date.
firstPerson : is that simplest way source code? so far im just a sem 1 and year 1 diploma student, and also i learnt till nested-loop only. (:

[gahhon]

by the way,
my software is Microsoft Visual C++
and i tried your source code, when compile it show me a error which is
"c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\eh.h(32) : fatal error C1189: #error : "eh.h is only for C++!"
Error executing cl.exe."

what it mean?
thanks anyway bro.

It means you got busted in an attempt to copy/paste someone else's code... The code firstPerson posted can not function independently...

Read up on the ctime header...

Then read about the cstring header...

sorry, i'm quite new to this course.

Get a timestamp using time(), convert it to the string representation using ctime(), then tokenize the string using strtok(). If you want the month, you'll need the second token.

there is the month that i want display a string type like "JANUARY" "FEBRUARY" and so on as well.

[gahhon]

oh.
i can already..
but i no using you gave to me code. sorry about that.
about how i solve it.
here is the code:

time_t rawtime;
  struct tm * timeinfo;
  char month [80];

  time ( &rawtime );
  timeinfo = localtime ( &rawtime );

  strftime (month,80,"%B"timeinfo);
  printf("Month : %s\n", month);

it works anyway (: thank you all guys so much (:
