stopping new line with asctime

knobby67 · 01-28-2011, 12:22 PM

Hi all,
I'm using asctime function to print the time to a file, however it always puts a new line with it, for example if I do

fprintf(pFile,"%s",asctime ( tm ));
fprintf(pFile,"hello world");

it writes

Fri Jan 28 18:11:38 2011
hello world

rather than

Fri Jan 28 18:11:38 2011 hello world

it's as if asctime adds \n to the end.

Is there a way round this? Thanks in advance

Uh, yes - asctime() *does* add "\n" to the end of the line. All you have to do is strip it off

or use strftime instead and control your own destiny. ;^)
