Using CTime & asctime to assign time to a string or vector string

I would like to use asctime to assign the time to a string.

time_t rawtime;
time ( &rawtime );
vector<string> TTime;
TTime.resize(10);
TTime = asctime(localtime ( &rawtime ));

I understand asctime is returning a pointer to a string. Would i have to create m开发者_开发知识库y own string and assign it the return value of asctime, or is there a simpler way?

You can construct a string directly from a char *:

string str = asctime(localtime ( &rawtime ));

This doesn't make sense:

TTime = asctime(localtime ( &rawtime ));

You can't assign a single string to a vector of strings. What you can do is:

TTime[0] = asctime(localtime ( &rawtime ));

Looks like what you need is a simple string,

std::string TTime(asctime(localtime(&rawtime)));

The function asctime() return char* and the std::string can construct from char*

std::string time(asctime(localtime(&rawtime)));

or

std::string time; time = asctime(asctimer(localtimer(&rawtime)));
