Format time Year Month Day hour minute second millisecond

How can one format the time in order of increasing precision:

Year Month Day hour:min:sec.millisec
ie. 2006 6 5 11:40:35.456

Right now I have this setup that results in: Fri May 26 13:03:30.451

struct _timeb g_tstruct;

_ftime( &g_tstruct );

fprintf(LogFile, "%.19s.%hu\n", ctime( & ( g_tstruct.time ) ),
g_tstruct.millitm );

and have seen that another %s could be used to hold the year found from
&g_tstruct[20].

But I haven't been able to find any other formats available.

Thanks,

Use strftime.

A format specifier of "%Y %#m %#d %H:%M:%S" should give results quite close
to what you asked for (you'll still need the extra printf to get the
milliseconds).

I see that Ben has already answered your question. I'd like to add that on
Windows you can use GetTimeFormat() and GetDateFormat() as well.
