Here's an example of a routine I wrote to parse a date format we use. You'd have to adjust it, of course, to fit your date format. I pass a CString into this routine.
//// Converts an XML Timestamp to a CTime object// Timestamp format = CCYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS// CTime FromTimeStamp(LPCTSTR cTimeStamp) { CTime cTime = CTime::GetCurrentTime();if(!(cTimeStamp == NULL || _tcslen(cTimeStamp) == 0)) {int month, day, year, hours , minutes, seconds; _stscanf_s(cTimeStamp,_T("%d-%d-%d %d:%d:%d"),&year, &month, &day, &hours, &minutes, &seconds); if(year == 1969) { // Epoch for CTime is 12/31/1969, but this doesn't work on all implemntations// of Windows so let's force it to the first date that always works. If the // file reads that old then what's a few days for the sake of saving an assert. year = 1970; month = 1; day = 3; }if(year < 1970) {if(year < 70 && year > 38) year += 2000;else if(year > 70 && year < 1900) year += 1900;else year = cTime.GetYear(); }// Fix for GMT of 0 where MSFT timezone check subtracts 3600 seconds. This will // keep the CTime function from claiming an invalid parameter. Bug is actually// in mktime()if(year == 1970 && month == 1 && day == 1) day = 3; cTime = CTime(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds); }return cTime; }
