iOS Cannot write current time & date to a file

[ilx.mac]

Hi there,

I want to save the current date & time to a .txt file. I am getting the current time by :

CFAbsoluteTime myCurrentTime = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent();

and i am writing it to the file:

paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
	documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
	filePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"log.txt"];
	[filePath retain];
	[myCurrentTime writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:NULL];

My IDE throws an error : Invalid Receiver Type CFAbsoluteTime.

Is there a way that I can write the datetime to my file?
(the string format is allowed to write file. But its here as CFAbsoluteTime)

Thanks in advance!

CFAbsoluteTime is not an object. It's a double. You need to convert it to an NSString or NSData first.

Remember that you can use stdio in Objective-C apps with no difficulties. Just use a full path for the fopen call.

fopen
fwrite
fclose
