How Can I Display TimerDiff() in H,M,S Format..?

[cypher175]

How Can I Display the TimerDiff($Timer) in (Hour, Min, Sec) (00:00:00) Format for the ToolTip..??

while 1
$Timer = TimerInit()
sleep(10000)
$Time = TimerDiff($Timer)
ToolTip($Time)
Sleep(1500)
wend

func _Diff2Time($TimerDiff)
    
    dim $HMS[3]
    
    $HMS[2] = Int($TimerDiff / 1000)
    $HMS[1] = $HMS[2] - Mod($HMS[2], 60)
    $HMS[2] -= $HMS[1]
    $HMS[1] /= 60
    $HMS[0] = $HMS[1] - Mod($HMS[1], 60)
    $HMS[1] -= $HMS[0]
    $HMS[0] /= 60
    return $HMS
endfunc; _Diff2Time

local $Diff = 60000
local $Time = _Diff2Time($Diff)
ConsoleWrite($Time[0] & ':' & $Time[1] & ':' & $Time[2] & ' (Hour:Min:Sec)' & @CR)

Ahh well beaten , never mind

$time = 0
$Timer = TimerInit()
While 1
    $time = TimerDiff($Timer)
    Sleep(1000)
    $hour = Floor($time / 3600000)
    $remanH = Mod($time, 3600000)
    $min = Floor($remanH / 60000)
    $remanM = Mod($remanH, 60000)
    $sec = Floor($remanM / 1000)
    ToolTip($hour & ":" & $min & ":" & $sec)
WEnd

cypher175,

You can let Autoit do all the sums for you if you prefer: ;-)

#Include <Date.au3>
Global $iHours = 0, $iMins = 0, $iSecs = 0
$iBegin = TimerInit()
Sleep(5000)
$iEnd = TimerDiff($iBegin)
_TicksToTime($iEnd, $iHours, $iMins, $iSecs)
ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("%02d:%02d:%02d", $iHours, $iMins, $iSecs) & @CRLF)

ahh, we both forgot about ticksToTime () , now you mention it i remember reading it briefly ages ago but never used it, use it or lose it ! lol

Hello,

im having same troubles here.. any inputs would be great!

Thanks!

simulation assurance vie

we cant imagine your problems

My microwave isn't working. Can we fix that too?

What problem are you having specifically? Post something that replicates it.

First, a million thanks to Yashied, JackDinn, and Melba 23 for providing very useful examples.

The final routine I constructed is a hybrid borrowing logic from all three examples, plus additional logic and a formatted string for presenting milliseconds. It is surprisingly accurate despite not using API calls to the system clock. This routine will be used for other purposes, but it was initially created to record and trend the time required for an external application to launch and become active.

In this instance, millisecond accuracy wasn't important since the external program requires around 30 seconds to launch, but other routines will be timing data transfer response times which will require sub-second accuracy.

;Thanks to Yashied, JackDinn, and Melba23 on the AutoIt forums!

#include <DateTimeConstants.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Timers.au3>

Global $tmrStartTime
Global $tmrELTime
Global $tmrCalc
Global $iHours = 0
Global $iMins = 0
Global $iSecs = 0
Global $iMSecs = 0



$tmrStartTime = TimerInit()

;(Do Stuff that takes a while)

$tmrELTime = TimerDiff($tmrStartTime)
_TicksToTime($tmrELTime, $iHours, $iMins, $iSecs)

$tmrCalc = $iHours * 3600000
$tmrCalc = $tmrCalc + $iMins * 60000
$tmrCalc = $tmrCalc + $iSecs * 1000
$iMSecs = Int(Number($tmrELTime) - Number($tmrCalc))

$logtext = "Function cmdLTC - GUI TC Loading Elapsed Time: " & StringFormat("%02d:%02d:%02d.%03d", $iHours, $iMins, $iSecs, $iMSecs)
writelog($logtext)

The routine assigns time values automatically from the TimerDiff function for hours, minutes, and seconds as usual, but the millisecond value is calculated by back-converting each time value for hours, minutes, and seconds to milliseconds, adding them together, and subtracting this total from the raw value returned by TimerDiff. The result is stored in $iMSecs, and then formatted with the addition of the .%03d filter, and the $iMsecs variable to the string list.

I suppose I could have tried simply adding the iMSecs variable to the _TicksToTime function, which I didn't because I'm sort of gutless that way. Plus, the AutoIt help files said that the _TicksToTime function only returns hours, minutes and seconds, so I was convinced that if I attempted to add the variable, the system would probably crash, delete the OS, and catch fire, or worse, throw up an "invalid parameters" error ;-)

Stripped some irrelevant code from the code example.
