How can I get current date in c++?

Question

I did not find any solution which give the only date. I found the solution but all are complex and we have to parse the array and separate the date from time

Try to this

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <ctime>

int main()
{
    auto t = std::time(nullptr);
    auto tm = *std::localtime(&t);
    std::cout << std::put_time(&tm, "%d-%m-%Y %H-%M-%S") << std::endl;
}

If you run the following code, today then you will find the current date in following format.

04/14/15

#include<iostream>
#include<ctime>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
 char c[9];
 _strdate_s(c);
 cout<<c<<endl;
 return 0;
}

_strdate_s is not a function included in the c++ standard. it is only supported by the library shipped with visual studio as far as i know. – smerlin Apr 14 '15 at 13:34
