script internal timer

[DANZIG]

Hellos,

I'm getting ready to write something to do a few simple taks on a local system and am needing to have an in script timer setup that can be instanced. I'm needing to say not the time in (miliseconds) it took from the command to the launch of the application, the time from the launch to the redirection of the application ect.

Any ideas out there?

I've looked at loops with an index/delay built in but the problem with that is that our stuck in the loop.




Thanks, Danzig

sorry i dont get what you are trying to achieve.
can you post code to demonstrate your dilema?

If you simply want to pause execution of a script, use WScript.Sleep.

If you are looking to tell the time between when a process starts and when it ends set a variable just before starting the process and then again when the process ends and then use the Datediff function to calculate the difference between the two times.

startime = time
command starts
command ends
endtime = time
timeDiff = DateDiff("n", dtmToday & " " & StartTime, dtmToday & " " & EndTime)

Hope that helps

Well I need the returns in fractions of seconds, but the vbscript timer function looks like it may be the best route.
