I'm writting a program and need little time comparision. What i would like to achieve is to be able to compare to know how much time it passed since boot. So i created some functions that give current time and time of a boot. While i could simply compare $boot_min with $current_min when other $boot.. and $current.. variables match i came to point where i think it's a bit bare solution (and wouldn't realy work if its 23:59 since then the day will change and $boot_day and $current_day will be diffrent. I'm preety sure i seen this somewhere on forum but couldn't find it this time. More I think about the problem the more i go away from solution :) My brain is empty today.

#include <Date.au3>
#include <array.au3>
$strComputer = "localhost"

Global $time_of_boot, $current_time 

_GatherTimeBoot()
    

Func _GatherTimeBoot()
Local $time_current, $time_of_boot
$wbemFlagReturnImmediately = 0x10
$wbemFlagForwardOnly = 0x20
$colItems = ""

$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & $strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem", "WQL", $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly)

If IsObj($colItems) then
   For $objItem In $colItems
       $time_of_boot = StringLeft($objItem.LastBootUpTime, 14)
       $time_current = StringLeft($objItem.LocalDateTime, 14)
   Next
Else
   Msgbox(0,"WMI Output","No WMI Objects Found for class: " & "Win32_OperatingSystem" )
   Exit
Endif

$boot_year = StringLeft($time_of_boot, 4)
$boot_month = StringMid($time_of_boot, 5,2)
$boot_day = StringMid($time_of_boot, 7,2)
$boot_hour = StringMid($time_of_boot, 9,2)
$boot_min = StringMid($time_of_boot, 11,2)
$boot_sec = StringMid($time_of_boot, 13,2)
$current_year = StringLeft($time_current, 4)
$current_month = StringMid($time_current, 5,2)
$current_day = StringMid($time_current, 7,2)
$current_hour = StringMid($time_current, 9,2)
$current_min = StringMid($time_current, 11,2)
$current_sec = StringMid($time_current, 13,2)
$boot_time = _ArrayCreate("6", $boot_year, $boot_month, $boot_day, $boot_hour, $boot_min, $boot_sec)
$current_time = _ArrayCreate("6", $current_year, $current_month , $current_day, $current_hour, $current_min, $current_sec)
EndFunc

Func WMIDateStringToDate($dtmDate)
    Return (StringMid($dtmDate, 5, 2) & "/" & _
            StringMid($dtmDate, 7, 2) & "/" & StringLeft($dtmDate, 4) _
             & " " & StringMid($dtmDate, 9, 2) & ":" & StringMid($dtmDate, 11, 2) & ":" & StringMid($dtmDate, 13, 2))
EndFunc   ;==>WMIDateStringToDate

Not sure if this applies anymore but don't GetTickCount have a turnover point (It says 49.7 days in the link)? This thread seems to address the issue, even if a "complete" solution is not found due to sleep modes and such.

Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum. Then ask unresolved questions :) Script plugin demo, Simple Trace udf, TrayMenuEx udf, IOChatter demo, freebasic multithreaded dll sample, PostMessage, Aspell, Code profiling

There is an issue with LastBootTime not being set correctly sometimes. This page shows an alternative using Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_System :

I found the following modification of Jos's code to be useful in writing a startup program. Using this function, my script will wait until more important startup programs have had time to load, before it does any intensive processing.

MsgBox(64, "_PC_UptimeInMinutes()", _PC_UptimeInMinutes())
If _PC_UptimeInMinutes() < 5 Then
    Sleep(140000)
EndIf
Func _PC_UptimeInMinutes()
    Local $retVal
    $retVal = DllCall("kernel32.dll", "long", "GetTickCount")
    Return Round($retVal[0]/1000/60)
EndFunc   ;==>_PC_UptimeInMinutes

Snippet Scrounger's rating - :)

This code works for most of my workstations, but some do return a negative number ... any idea why?
