Modifying cout to display custom text at start

[Gurinderc]

Hello,

I'm working on, to write the debug statements to logfile or console depends on working environment.

What I have did:

	
	streambuf *psbuf;
	ofstream logFile;
	logFile.open(LOGFILE);

	psbuf = logFile.rdbuf();
	cout.rdbuf(psbuf);

this cause cout to redirect the output to log and it's working fine.

The situation is, I like to include the date/time, in front of each message.

e.g cout<<"Hello"<< endl;

will log -

[10/10/2010 12:24:32] Hello

Hope I'm clear in my question.

Many Thanks

do any one have any suggestion here?
