DateTime to string

Question

For some reason I can't use the Time.h lib.

Can you guys tell me how to create a string from the datetime into a format like this: "yyyy.MM.dd:hh.mm.ss" 2014.10.29:07.12.33

Seems odd that I can't find any examples of this.

Thank you. Terrence

That's because they all just print it. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Oct 30 '14 at 2:28 — Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, Oct 30 '14 at 2:28

There's no built in function to do that, I'm afraid.

I suggest you create a method that will format the string like so. Something along the lines of:

void formatTime()
{
   string str = year() + "." + month() + "." + day() + ":" + hour() + "FILL IN THE REST";
}
