?
coz if so i tryed taht and it dosnt work >.<

I'm too hung over, to even explain, so here is a code example.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
  struct tm *tm_set;
  time_t tim, t;
  tim = time(&t);
  tm_set = localtime(&tim);
  printf("HHMM: %.2d%.2d\n", tm_set->tm_hour, tm_set->tm_min);
  printf("DDMMYY: %.2d%.2d%.2d\n", tm_set->tm_mday, tm_set->tm_mon,
             (tm_set->tm_year < 100)? tm_set->tm_year: (tm_set->tm_year -100));
  return 0;
}

wow taht really helps cause it really works thx but it would be even better if they can be stored in variebles cause i need to store them in an array >.<

From the description:

Broken-down time is stored in the structure tm which is defined in <time.h> as follows:

              struct tm {
                      int     tm_sec;         /* seconds */
                      int     tm_min;         /* minutes */
                      int     tm_hour;        /* hours */
                      int     tm_mday;        /* day of the month */
                      int     tm_mon;         /* month */
                      int     tm_year;        /* year */
                      int     tm_wday;        /* day of the week */
                      int     tm_yday;        /* day in the year */
                      int     tm_isdst;       /* daylight saving time */
              };

As you see, the variables are of type int, which means you can store them as int's in yoru array, or if you want to have it in the printet format like HHMM and DDMMYY then you can store them as strings, by gathering the int's into a string and store that in your array.
