[LUG] C++ advice?

["Sam Grabham" <sam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

 

In C++ how should i compare dates as in the following:

 

I have been using these headers
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

struct stat fileInfo;

std::ctime(&fileInfo.st_mtime); 

 

so how should i compare now, as in time() and the file modified date?

 

I wish to calc how many minutes old a file is

 

How would i convert say a string to a date?

would you use difftime in some way? (fDif = difftime (fi.fileModifiedDate("C:\\temp\\test\\Project1.dev"),now); )

 

 

Regards

 

 

Sam
