Hi Guys

Its been sometime since i fired up blitzmax, Im having a problem updating a time buffer

Local time:Byte[256],buff:Byte[256]
				
time_(time)
strftime_( buff,256,"%H:%M:%S - %d %b %Y",localtime_( time ));
				
Print "real time: "+CurrentTime()
Print "modifyed time: "+String.FromCString(buff)

I use the byte array time to store the time returned from calling time_, What i want to do is update the time array to contain a new time in the future by adding mins or hours to the array.

any help would be great, sorry but im having a brain dead day.

thanks
