Re: [Boost-users] custom formatting the current local date time into a string

Is this a boost question? If you want a boost solution take a look at
boost::posix_time
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/date_time/posix_time.html

To get the local time, the following worked well for me so far.
boost::posix_time::microsec_clock::local_time();

The following string conversion functions that comes with this library
satisfy most of the general use cases.
std::string to_simple_string(ptime)
std::string to_iso_string(ptime)
std::string to_iso_extended_string(ptime)

Thanks,
Edwin
