How to make my code not Suck up memory?


Recommended Posts

Here is my code. What I have done is check to see if the Window Acrobat is open if it is grab the file name and log it. My co-workers do not like to clock in on jobs and this is how I make sure they do. Problem is that I am sucking the life out of memory and do not want it to lag the system.

Can someone please help me optimize the code so it can still check if the window is open and log the job even if it is only open for less than a minute.

Here is the basic part of my code "With secure info removed"

If _Singleton("Tracker2", 1) = 0 Then Exit
#include "Misc.au3"
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt("TrayIconHide",1)
HotKeySet("!+q","Quit")
$ini=@ScriptDir & "\tracker2.ini"
Local $hQuery, $aRow, $sMsg, $1Query, $bRow, $aResult, $iRows, $iColumns, $iRval
AutoItSetOption("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)
AutoItSetOption("WinSearchChildren",1)
While 1
$var = WinList()
For $i = 1 to $var[0][0]
$clear=1
$x=0
If $var[$i][0] <> "" AND IsVisible($var[$i][1]) Then
  If StringInStr($var[$i][0],"Adobe Acrobat") Then
   $a=StringSplit($var[$i][0]," - ",1)
   $a=StringLeft($a[1],6)
   $a=StringSplit($a,".")
   $job=StringStripWS($a[1],2)
   If $job="Adobe" Then
   Else
    $employee=@ComputerName
    $hour=(60*@HOUR)+@MIN
    $info = IniReadSection($ini,$job)
    If @error=1 Then
     $info=$hour-90
    Else
     $info=$info[1][1]
    EndIf
    $subtract=($hour-$info)
    If $subtract > '60' Then
     If $job>'1000' Then
;~    MsgBox(0,$subtract,$job)
      $now = @MON & "-" & @MDAY & "-" & @YEAR  & " " & @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC
      $location=@ComputerName
      ;this is the section where I write to a secure site
      IniWrite($ini,$job,"Time",$hour)
      $x=1
     EndIf
    EndIf
   EndIf
  EndIf
EndIf
Next
If Not ProcessExists("Acrobat.exe") Then
FileDelete($ini)
EndIf
Sleep(500)
WEnd
Func Quit()
ProcessClose("relaunch.exe")
Exit
EndFunc
Func IsVisible($handle)
  If BitAnd( WinGetState($handle), 2 ) Then
    Return 1
  Else
    Return 0
  EndIf
EndFunc

I dont see why this script would have any memory build up. Certainly not when the window is not open. Unless you have any global variable to add stuff into in your final version of your script, i dont see why it should either when the window is open.

However i did notice that the process takes about 2% CPU time on a single 4GHz.

Could be because you use winlist/for next Loop/StringinStr/isVisible just to check all your windows when you only need to use one command: WinActive

If _Singleton("Tracker2", 1) = 0 Then Exit
#include "Misc.au3"
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt("TrayIconHide", 1)
HotKeySet("!+q", "Quit")
$ini = @ScriptDir & "tracker2.ini"
Local $hQuery, $aRow, $sMsg, $1Query, $bRow, $aResult, $iRows, $iColumns, $iRval
AutoItSetOption("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)
AutoItSetOption("WinSearchChildren", 1)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)

While 1
    Sleep(500)
    $ADhwnd = WinActive("Adobe Acrobat")
    If $ADhwnd Then
        ConsoleWrite("found" & @CRLF)
        $ADTitle = WinGetTitle($ADhwnd)
        $a = StringSplit($ADTitle, " - ", 1)
        $a = StringLeft($a[1], 6)
        $a = StringSplit($a, ".")
        $job = StringStripWS($a[1], 2)
        ConsoleWrite($job & @CRLF)
        If Not ($job = "Adobe") Then
            $employee = @ComputerName
            $hour = (60 * @HOUR) + @MIN
            $info = IniReadSection($ini, $job)
            If @error = 1 Then
                $info = $hour - 90
            Else
                $info = $info[1][1]
            EndIf
            $subtract = ($hour - $info)
            If $subtract > '60' Then
                If $job > '1000' Then
                    $now = @MON & "-" & @MDAY & "-" & @YEAR & " " & @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC
                    $location = @ComputerName
                    ;this is the section where I write to a secure site
                    IniWrite($ini, $job, "Time", $hour)
                EndIf
            EndIf
        EndIf
        Sleep(5000); To prevent writing to the ini every 500ms (if window exists)
    EndIf

    If Not ProcessExists("Acrobat.exe") Then
        FileDelete($ini)
    EndIf
    Sleep(500)
WEnd
Func Quit()
    ProcessClose("relaunch.exe")
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Quit
Func IsVisible($handle)
    If BitAND(WinGetState($handle), 2) Then
        Return 1
    Else
        Return 0
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>IsVisible

I dont understand your way of logging the time to do any optimization on this part. Script comments would help.

Also stripped $x and $clear since not used for anything.

Wouldn't something like this be more efficient?

If _Singleton("Tracker2", 1) = 0 Then Exit
#include "Misc.au3"
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt("TrayIconHide", 1)
HotKeySet("!+q", "Quit")
$ini = @ScriptDir & "tracker2.ini"
Local $hQuery, $aRow, $sMsg, $1Query, $bRow, $aResult, $iRows, $iColumns, $iRval
AutoItSetOption("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)
AutoItSetOption("WinSearchChildren", 1)
While 1
    $var = WinList("Adobe Acrobat")
    If $var[0][0] > 0 Then
        $clear = 1
        $x = 0
        $job = "Adobe"
        For $I = 1 To $var[0][0]
            If $var[$I][0] <> "" And IsVisible($var[$I][1]) Then
                $employee = @ComputerName
                $hour = (60 * @HOUR) + @MIN
                $info = IniReadSection($ini, $job)
                If @error = 1 Then
                    $info = $hour - 90
                Else
                    $info = $info[1][1]
                EndIf
                $subtract = ($hour - $info)
                If $subtract > '60' Then
                    If $job > '1000' Then
;~    MsgBox(0,$subtract,$job)
                        $now = @MON & "-" & @MDAY & "-" & @YEAR & " " & @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC
                        $location = @ComputerName
                        ;this is the section where I write to a secure site
                        IniWrite($ini, $job, "Time", $hour)
                        $x = 1
                    EndIf
                EndIf
            EndIf
        Next
    EndIf
    If Not ProcessExists("Acrobat.exe") Then
        FileDelete($ini)
    EndIf
    Sleep(500)
WEnd
Func Quit()
    ProcessClose("relaunch.exe")
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Quit
Func IsVisible($handle)
    If BitAND(WinGetState($handle), 2) Then
        Return 1
    Else
        Return 0
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>IsVisible
I changed your WinList so that it only looks for the window you're interested in, Adobe Acrobat, instead of listing ALL the windows and looking to see if it's there. If it doesn't find the window at all (the first If/Then statement), then bypass all of the rest of the code. Also, your code deletes your INI file as soon as Acrobat is closed, how is it supposed to read the values from it in this script if you keep deleting it?

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I think he use some kind of mysql query to write the time to a database in his real script.

That ini stuff is just an example for writing the data.
