i using visual studio 2013.

you can use time function localtime function.

example code:

//#include <time.h> time_t rawtime; struct tm * timeinfo; time(&rawtime); timeinfo = localtime(&rawtime); //the years since 1900 according documentation, add 1900 actual year result. printf("date: %d/%d/%d time: %d:%d:%d",timeinfo->tm_year + 1900, timeinfo->tm_mon, timeinfo->tm_mday, timeinfo->tm_hour, timeinfo->tm_min, timeinfo->tm_sec);
