asctime without trailing newline character

19 New Member
Hello, all. I am writing a patch of code that displays the time and date in the middle of the line. I am using the asctime function from ctime but I don't want the trailing newline character after the execution.

Is there any way to remove it, or should I go about finding the time using a different method?

  1. ostream &td(ostream &stream)
  2. {
  3.   time_t t;
  4.  
  5.   t = time(NULL);
  6.   stream << asctime(localtime(&t));
  7.  
  8.   return stream;
  9. }

asctime returns a C-style string. The \n is the byte before the \0. Just change the \n byte to \0 and off you go.

Hi, My RichTextBox has multiple lines of text. Most of the lines unfortunately end with a space. Is it possible to replace the space and NewLine/Line Feed with just the NewLine/LineFeed? So in essence just removing the trailing space from each line?
