How to format the date and time to this format??

[FelixB]

the class QDateTime provides everything you need.

[Gokulnathvc]

QString dateTimeString = dateTime.toString();

QDateTime dateTimenew(QDateTime::fromString(dateTimeString, "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"));

I have tried using the above code, but it fails..

[FelixB]

what exactly do you want? create a time format to a string? or convert a string to time format?

[Gokulnathvc]

Could you please explain with my code above??

[FelixB]

ok, I'll try.

you convert a QDateTime (at least I hope it's a QDateTime) into a QString. You use Qt::TextDate as string format. Then you reconvert this string into a QDateTime using a different format ("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss"). No wonder that fails.

try this one:

QDateTime dateTime = dateTime.currentDateTime();
QString dateTimeString = dateTime.toString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");

Can you please, just for once, answer the question put to you. Which do you want; to convert a date/time object to a string, or to convert a string to a date/time object?

As explained by FelixB your code is doomed to fail because the first line produces a string that the second line does not match. If it did what you seem to intend then this is much faster:


QDateTime dateTimenew = dateTime;

and there is no string involved.
