C++ compare timestamp in string format

Sorry, it is possible to determine whether it is DST or not, but the means are a bit over the top.

Oh, another side note, if you use a 'std::string' instead, the 'compare()' member will return the same results as 'strcmp()'

Thanks to jkr for the simple solution.  I originally used difftime() for comparison which is more complex.

It works. You will need to add a parameter for strftime() because this function doesn't allow 3 parameters.

strftime(acCurTime,14, "%Y%m%d%H%M%S",localtime(time(NULL)));
