RESOLVED: DateDiff by seconds?

[Kasteel]

Hi

Is it possible to capture a "Start time" and an "End time" in AutoIT and then do a DateDiff between the 2 that will display the difference between the 2 times in seconds only?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Is it necessary to do it with DateDiff?

Else it's easy as pie.

$timer=TimerInit()
Sleep(Random(1000,2000,1))
MsgBox(0,"That took:",Round(TimerDiff($timer)/1000,1)&" seconds.")

Opt("OnExitFunc", "ScriptExit")

$Timer = TimerInit()

While 1
    
    For $i = 1 to 5
        ConsoleWrite($i & @CR)
        Sleep(1000)
        
        If $i = 5 Then
            Exit
        EndIf
    Next
    
WEnd


Func ScriptExit()
    $TimerTime = TimerDiff($Timer)
    $TimerTimeSecs = ($TimerTime / 1000)
    ConsoleWrite("Exit Time after " & $TimerTimeSecs & " seconds." & @CR)
EndFunc

Returns for me..

1
2
3
4
5
Exit Time after 5.00215248 seconds.
>Exit code: 0    Time: 5.213

Edit: monoceres beat me to it, but my method used the OnExitFunc option for capturing whenever your programs exit.

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply. It does not have to be DateDiff.

The code you showed me is very cool.

Can you please explain how it works? Still new to AutoIT.

Thanks

Sure,

TimerInit() creates a time stamp (how it looks is irrelevant).

Sleep just, sleeps, how long is decided by the parameter (in milliseconds), in this case I make it random (between 1000 and 2000 ms).

TimerDiff returns how many milliseconds has passed since the time stamp was created, it's then divided by 1000 and rounded to 1 decimal.

Awesome!!
