milli or microseconds wanted

[trademaid]

How can i get milli or better microseconds

ie @HOUR & @min & "." & @sec & "-" & @ms &

Im not after a timer, but want to write to logs with microsecond time stamps

Func _MSec()
    Local $sMilliSeconds
    Local $stSystemTime = DllStructCreate('ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort')
    DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'none', 'GetSystemTime', 'ptr', DllStructGetPtr($stSystemTime))
    $sMilliSeconds = StringFormat('%03d', DllStructGetData($stSystemTime, 8))
    $stSystemTime = 0
    Return $sMilliSeconds
EndFunc

The latest beta has a macro called @MSEC

It corresponds to milliseconds

Im delighted with your replies. Thank you. The two things im after is _FileWriteLog in milliseconds, though I guess a workaround for this would be very very easy

@YEAR & @MON & @MDAY ..... @msec

and FileGetTime in milliseconds

Hi Again

anyone got and FileGetTime in milliseconds?

[monoceres]

Feeling generous today

#include <array.au3>
$array=_GetFileTimeEx("Some file.ext")
_ArrayDisplay($array)

; Author monoceres
; Returned array looks like this:
; [0]= year;
; [1]= month
; [2]= day of week
; [3]= day
; [4]= hour
; [5]= minute
; [6]= second
; [7]= millisecond
Func _GetFileTimeEx($file)
    Local $return[8]
    $STruct=DllStructCreate("dword;dword;dword;dword;dword;dword;dword;dword;dword;")
    $filetime=DllStructCreate("ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort")
    $call=DllCall("Kernel32.dll","int","GetFileAttributesExW","wstr",$file,"int",0,"ptr",DllStructGetPtr($struct))
    DllCall("Kernel32.dll","int","FileTimeToSystemTime","ptr",DllStructGetPtr($struct,2),"ptr",DllStructGetPtr($filetime))
    For $i=0 To 7
        $return[$i]=DllStructGetData($filetime,$i+1)
    Next
    Return $return  
EndFunc

Enjoy

Looking at that codes I couldn't help noticing that would be really cool to have _StructDisplay() function. Something like _ArrayDisplay().

Then something like this would be possible:

#Include <DllStructure.au3>

$struct = _GetTime()
_StructDisplay($struct)


Func _GetTime()
    
    Local $stSystemTime = DllStructCreate('ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort;ushort')
    DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'none', 'GetSystemTime', 'ptr', DllStructGetPtr($stSystemTime))
    Return $stSystemTime

EndFunc

...wishes, wishes.

I bet no one can do that!

Hello.

Is there a way to get microseconds? Or 1/10 of a millisecond?

Thank you in advance.

[iamtheky]

adding this under the arraydisplay in monoceres example?

$microseconds = $array[7] * .001
msgbox (0 , '' , $microseconds)

[littleclown]

This will not give me the actual time but just milisecond * 10.

[iamtheky]

nope thats my bad, dont know what i was copying. But 1 microsecond = 0.001 milliseconds. so other than the math....

littleclown,

If you want to use such tiny slivers of time, I suggest you read this topic. It seems that your PC is very unlikely to be able to offer you any degree of accuracy at that level.

This topic is mine too .

I see examples in other languages:

http://www.decompile.com/cpp/faq/windows_timer_api.htm

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/MicroTimer.aspx

Thats why I ask is there a solution in autoIT. I am not sure are these examples works or not.
