Hi everybody,

i am trying to get a time subtraction running, but i somehow seem to bee a dau when i read through the help file.

Basically, i just want a timer that tells me how long my script ran. Heres what i got:

1. FormatTime, var1, T12, Time
2. Outputdebug The current time is %var1%.
3. EnvSub, timestring, %var1%, m
4. Outputdebug, Wir haben %timestring% gespielt.

My thinking process:
Line 1: set the variable var1 in the T12 time format and get the aktuell time
Line 2: tells me in debugfenster the time
Line 3: subtract timestring (set at script start) from var1
Line 4: tell me the difference in T12 time format

Unfortunately i get:
[6576] The current time is 12:10:43. <---- %timestring%
[6576] The current time is 12:10:48. <---- %var1%
[6576] Wir haben gespielt. <---- where is the time difference?


Can someone please help me and tell me where my thoughts are wrong? Probabaly just a format error, but i aint sure.

Thanks in advance for the help!

P.s. Sorry for the double post. Admin please delete the guest post Wink

Code:
StartTime := A_TickCount
Sleep, 1000
ElapsedTime := A_TickCount - StartTime
MsgBox,  %ElapsedTime% milliseconds have elapsed.


of course, it displays in mil-seconds, so if u want seconds, u divide by 1000, if want mins, divide 60 more

No useful help can be given because you have not posted your code. An outline is of no use when trying to debug code.

All I can say given your post is a quote from the help file:
Quote:
EnvSub - TimeUnits
If present, this parameter directs the command to subtract Value from Var as though both of them are date-time stamps in the YYYYMMDDHH24MISS format.

but doesnt the values shows in 8-bits format?
is there any way to make it show just up to 2 decimal places for seconds.
cause my timer is just a few seconds only.
like 1.83 seconds?

is this possible?

Code:
StartTime := A_TickCount
Sleep, 1000
ElapsedTime := (A_TickCount - StartTime) / 1000
Rounded := Round(ElapsedTime,2)
MsgBox,  %ElapsedTime% milliseconds have elapsed. Rounded is %Rounded%
