trying to copy and past a timed value

[arminius]

ok what I'm trying to do is use a timer to record the time it takes to run a script, and displays the time it took at the end of the script

here is a simple version of what I'm trying to achieve.

CODE

$begin = TimerInit()

$dif = TimerDiff($begin)

ProgressOn("Progress Meter", "Increments every second", "0 percent")

For $i = 10 to 100 step 10

sleep(1000)

ProgressSet( $i, $i & " percent")

Next

ProgressSet(100 , "Done", "took $dif hours/mins")

sleep(5000)

ProgressOff()

so $dif is the timer value I belive? I wrote $dif at progress set 100 near the bottom, but as u can guess it just said $dif instead of the around 12 seconds it took.

so anyone got any advice?

You need to have the $dif at the bottom.

$begin = TimerInit()


ProgressOn("Progress Meter", "Increments every second", "0 percent")
For $i = 10 to 100 step 10
    sleep(1000)
    ProgressSet( $i, $i & " percent")
Next
$dif = TimerDiff($begin)
ProgressSet(100 , "Done", "took "& $dif &" hours/mins")
sleep(5000)
ProgressOff()

that's great guy thanks, but while I still got ya, it's bringing out a huge amount of digits I don't need, any advice on how to cut it down to just the few seconds it's ment to represent?

[Swift]

Yeah, It's because TimerDiff, brings out every digit it can... Use this to cut it down.

$begin = TimerInit()


ProgressOn("Progress Meter", "Increments every second", "0 percent")
For $i = 10 to 100 step 10
    sleep(1000)
    ProgressSet( $i, $i & " percent")
Next
$dif = TimerDiff($begin)
$Time = StringFormat("%.2f", $dif)
ProgressSet(100 , "Done", "took "& $time &" hours/mins")
sleep(5000)
ProgressOff()

How bout that? It will shorten it so it only displays like: 1.20 seconds.

thanks that helped alot, but it's still displaying it in microseconds, do u know how to tell it to divide by a 1000, I'm not familer with this coding your using, if I need to bone up on it any idea where I can go to read?

im not familer with StringFormat either, but you can do:

$begin = TimerInit()


ProgressOn("Progress Meter", "Increments every second", "0 percent")
For $i = 10 to 100 step 10
    sleep(1000)
    ProgressSet( $i, $i & " percent")
Next
$dif = TimerDiff($begin)
$Time = StringFormat("%.2f", $dif)
$Time=$Time/1000
$Actual = Round($Time, 0)
ProgressSet(100 , "Done", "took "& $Actual &" hours/mins")
sleep(5000)
ProgressOff()

If you really wanted to get accurate, you could read-up on the function StringFormat() which is huge, and I don't understand it, but good luck!

perfect, thanks mate your tops, I nearly had another question when I went to test it by changing the sleep from 1000 to 2000 to see if the timer would change it's value, and was confused when the total time doubled, until I realised it was adding an extra second to every 10 cycles, I'm such a newb, but yeah I added sleeps elsewhere and it worked perfectly, so kudos
