MrMax Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 MsgBox(4096, '', _Timer_Diff($timertransition)) So this is how I get the Timer_diff in a MsgBox... Is there a way I can get autoIT to automatically write this information to a text-file instead of a MsgBox? I know the answer is Yes, I just dont know how to do it hehe Thanks for any support guys, have a nice thursday evening.
somdcomputerguy Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 I know the answer is Yes, I just dont know how to do it hehe Here's a good start - FileOpen. You'll find all kinds of useful and helpful stuff in the Help file. - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
Moderators Melba23 Posted April 18, 2013 Moderators Posted April 18, 2013 MrMax,Welcome to the AutoIt forum. You are quite correct in assuming that the answer is "Yes" - but have you looked in teh Help file to see if you can find any functions yourself that might do the trick? Hint: You want to write to a file - so a combination of the 2 words might be good thing to look for.

MrMax Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Okay cool It seems that most FileWrite commands etc need to have the file open to be able to write to it?Is it possible to use the iniWrite command instead? http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/IniWrite.htmAlso in the iniWrite command:IniWrite ( "filename", "section", "key", "value"What does Section mean? And Key?Can I write my command like this:IniWrite ("whatevername.ini", "Section 1?", "key?", "_Timer_Diff($timertransition)Would that command coupled with a timer_init give a file named whatevername.ini with the value of the timer_diff?EDIT: Sorry never done much coding in C nor scripting So I'm a total newb Edited April 19, 2013 by MrMax
abberration Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 A little help with ini files... The section is an overall category. The key is a sub-category. The value is the the value for that particular key. Example code: [Section] Key=Value [Fruits] Apples=11 Oranges=6 Peaches=17 [Cars] American=Ford,Chevy,GM Foreign=Toyota,Kia,Hyundai [MyComputer] Memory=512MB Processor=i7 Motherboard=Asus Power_Supply=Rosewill Warranty=5 years Easy MP3 | Software Installer | Password Manager
abberration Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) An example using random times around 1-10 seconds, writing to an ini file in the same directory as the script: #include <Timers.au3> $starttime = _Timer_Init() Do $randomTime = Random(0, 900) Sleep($randomTime) Until $randomTime > 850 $TimeDifference = Round(_Timer_Diff($starttime), 0)/1000 & " seconds" IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\time.ini", "LastTime", "Value", $TimeDifference) ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\time.ini") Edited April 19, 2013 by abberration Easy MP3 | Software Installer | Password Manager
