RichardMost Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hello, I'm a new user to AutoIT. I am attempting to write some simple synthetic benchmarks for a Windows environment. I have a script that I have written that simply opens Microsoft Word, types some text, and then saves the file and exits. I'd like to record the duration of the execution so I can track it on each run as additional background processes are added to the workstation. Are there any recommendations for this? Ideally I'd record the duration time to a CSV on a network share for example. Thank you, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 19, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 19, 2017 @RichardMost welcome to the forum. Look at TimerInit() and TimerDiff() in the help file. The example shows you just how to start a timer at the top of your script. Then when you're done, you can get total runtime. You can either use FileWriteLine or the _Excel_ functions to output the data as you would like. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.
