Look at MSDN, in particular the function localtime ().

            #include <stdio.h>        #include <time.h>int main(){	time_t ttime;	tm*    pCurTime;	char   cTimeString[32];	//Get the current time	time(&ttime);	pCurTime = localtime(&ttime);	strftime(cTimeString, 32, "%m/%d/%Y at %H:%M:%S",pCurTime);        printf("The date and time are: %s", cTimeString);        return 0;}

This outputs a time in the format "03/23/2002 at 12:31:44"

voila the current time and date. To learn more about the formatting of the string, look up strftime().
