How do you make those in front of the text you send? I mean the right time, not the [HH:MM:SS] like [03:23:53 AM]?  Any help would be appreciated.

HH = Hours
MM = Minutes
SS = Seconds

If you're using C/C++ (which I somewhat doubt), consult strftime documentation.

is this really bot related, i mean seriously this is like simple string manipulation.

char *GetTime(char Buffer[12])
{
   // Get the time:
   long currtime = time(NULL);
   tm *Time = localtime(&currtime);
   sprintf(Buffer, "%02d:%02d:%02d%s", (Time->tm_hour <= 12) ? Time->tm_hour : (Time->tm_hour - 12), Time->tm_min, Time->tm_sec, Time->tm_hour > 12 ? "PM" : "AM");

   return Buffer;
}

That'll return the 12-hour-clock time.  If you want a 24-hours clock, use this:
char *GetTime(char Buffer[10])
{
   // Get the time:
   long currtime = time(NULL);
   tm *Time = localtime(&currtime);
   sprintf(Buffer, "%02d:%02d:%02d",  Time->tm_hour, Time->tm_min, Time->tm_sec);

   return Buffer;
}

And to use these, just use a sprintf to get it into a buffer
char TimeBuf[12];
sprintf("%s <%s> %s\n", GetTime(TimeBuf), sender, message);


void TimeStamp(char *szBuf)
{
   SYSTEMTIME st;
   GetLocalTime(&st);
   sprintf(szBuf, "[%02i:%02i:%02i]  ", st.wHour, st.wMinute, st.wSecond);
}


12-hour notation sucks.

Is not 12 hour!

How about 24 hr timestamps is vb?

My second one is 24 hour

Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss")

Would I be correct in saying that I would need a timer to add onto Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss") so it changes?

For 24-hour time, use:

Format(Time, "HH:mm:ss")

I mean for a clock......

-1 to Lenny. Stop asking the same question over and over and not reading the answers you get.

!~!HaZaRD!~!

I havent been asking the same question...Im asking how would you make a clock not a TIMESTAMP
