Hello

I am trying to print the time zone name but it was not displaying.
My code stmt is:

local_machine_time = emailtm.Format("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S") + " (" + get_tzn , _get_tzname(&ret_value,get_tzn,sizeof(get_tzn),0) + ")";

when i debugging the code,in get_tzn i get this --> 0x05e4f610 "India Standard Time"
and in local_machine_time it stores like this --> Thu,21 Apr 2011 13:06:23("
but i want to display --> Thu,21 Apr 2011 13:06:23(India Standard Time)
Please any one can reply me.

Try this:

local_machine_time = emailtm.Format("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S") + " (" + (0==_get_tzname(&ret_value,get_tzn,sizeof(get_tzn),0)?get_tzn:"") + ")";

Good luck.
[edit]
list operators (,) work like stack from left to right. the last parameter (thats the right) is used.
_get_tzname(...),get_tzn should work too. but only if _get_tzname dont fail.
Regards.
