I am trying to create a filename with a timestamp using strings instead of chars.

ichar curDateTime[25];
time_t currentTime = time(0);
struct tm *temp_time;

temp_time = localtime(&currentTime);
strftime(curDateTime, 30, "%d%b%Y_%H", temp_time);

sprintf(filename, "%s/FILE_%s%02d%02d", filePath, curDateTime, temp_time->tm_min, temp_time->tm_sec);

What would be the easiest way to do this using strings?


Creating a filename using std string.

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
