Timer

[leuce 1]

G'day everyone

I have a script that processes a large file. I would like the script to give me some progress report every now and then. I don't particularly care how... it can tell me every mintue how far it is, or it can tell me every 100 iterations of a loop how far it is.

Here's a section of the script:

For $i = 1 to $wflines

$line = FileReadLine ($wftmfile, $i)
If StringInStr ($line, "=" & $lookfor, 1) Then
FileWriteLine ($outputfile, $line)
EndIf

Next

The file being processed has about 250 000 lines, so it would be very kind of the script to tell me every now and then how far it is. Any ideas how to do this? It doesn't have to be elegant.

Thanks!

Look in help file for TimerInit() and TimerDiff(). This is very easy to do

The example code for _TicksToTime does exactly this.

Just for fun I decided to create a simple seconds to HH:MM:SS function:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$STAMP = TimerInit()

GUICreate("My GUI", 200, 70)  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)       ; will display an empty dialog box

$TimeLBL = GUICtrlCreateLabel ("",5,5,190,60)
GUICtrlSetFont (-1,35, 400)

Func ConvertSecondsToHHMMSS($seconds)
    $Hour = Int($seconds / 360)
    $Mins = Int(Mod($seconds,360) / 60)
    $Secs = Mod(Mod($seconds,360), 60)
    
    Return StringFormat("%02i:%02i:%02i", $Hour, $Mins, $Secs)
EndFunc

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    ;Return time in seconds
    $TimeDiff = TimerDiff($STAMP) / 1000
    GuiCtrlSetData($TimeLBL,ConvertSecondsToHHMMSS($TimeDiff))
    Sleep(250)
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

Something like this maybe

$Size = FileGetSize($filename)
$wftmfile = FileOPen($filename,0)
$position = 0
$fact = 1;if ascii file
$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(10,20,120,10)
For $i = 1 to $wflines

    $line = FileReadLine ($wftmfile, $i)
    $position += StringLen($line * $fact + 1);+1 to allow for CR in file which is not part of $line
    GUICtrlSetData($progress1,$position *100/$Size)
    If StringInStr ($line, "=" & $lookfor, 1) Then
        FileWriteLine ($outputfile, $line)
    EndIf

Next
FileClose($wftmfile)
