System time in miliseconds

[Alex]

Hello,

I'm starting to spam this group..I need a function that is equal to
this function in JAVA:

System.currentTimeMillis();

that returns the difference, measured in milliseconds, between the
current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC. (output is like this:
1141375007171 )
I used the function:

timeGetTime ();

but the output is 4476095..What shall I do?

Thx a lot,

Sashka

Alex:

System.currentTimeMillis();

I do not think there is a standard cpp-function for this, normally time
statements use ctime like in:

There is no standard C++ function that gives you what you want, so you have
to resort to system-specific functions. On POSIX systems, you can try the
function gettimeofday().

Try Boost.Datetime, it is not platform-binded. However, standard C++ (as
far as I saw 2005th draft) contains no utilities for such things.
