asctime without trailing newline character

[toefraz]

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?

ostream &td(ostream &stream)
{
  time_t t;
 
  t = time(NULL);
  stream << asctime(localtime(&t));
 
  return stream;
}

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.
