simple way to convert string to date in C++

[henry1999sg]

I realize this function strptime is not availabe in windows VC. but I don't want to use MFC, just want a simple and light way to convert a YYYYMMDD HHMISS to a tm.
any advice ?

hi
I wrote this short program so that you can see how to do it.

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>

using	namespace	std;

int	main(int argc,char* argv)
{
	
	char*	str = "20101127 090600";

	tm tm1;

	sscanf(str,"%4d%2d%2d %2d%2d%2d",&tm1.tm_year,&tm1.tm_mon,&tm1.tm_mday,
			&tm1.tm_hour,&tm1.tm_min,&tm1.tm_sec);

	cout << tm1.tm_year << endl << tm1.tm_mon << endl << tm1.tm_mday << endl;
	cout << tm1.tm_hour << endl << tm1.tm_min << endl << tm1.tm_sec << endl;
}

hope thats what you were after
