I am currently making a handy dandy calender that get's mad at me when it's time to do something. I can add date entities (BBall game at 7:00, 30 minute prep). I can modify them, and delete them. But I need to know the time... Anyone know of a standard time finding function not bound to any non standard or windows library?

Take a look at the Standard C functions in time.h.

Though, in a c++ app make sure you #include , not time.h
Take a look at the functions time() and localtime()

There's also boost::date_time, but you'll need to download boost, and it might be more than you need.

Here's how I do it:

// I'm not sure if all these are needed.#include <ctime>#include <cstdlib>#include <cstring>using namespace std;string timeString(){      const int size = 20;      char buffer[size+1];      time_t t = time(0);      strftime(buffer,size,"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S",localtime(&t));      string timestring(buffer);      return timestring;}
