Sounds like your key is sticking down.
You don't mention the results with the other keys.

Posted this info 2 years ago and its had, at this moment, 7580 views. Today I discovered a mistake. 7575 of those viewers think I'm an idiot. (I'm guessing 5 viewers got here by mistake and didn't read it.) If you run the posted code there's a chance you'll see what I said you'd see. There's also a ...

Dave, I understand your confusion. I'm still perplexed. In my world I can now get some updates silently and not know they have occurred so I can't tell you that no updates happened. What I can state is that I've had executables that had been humming along nicely for years and suddenly stopped workin...

hagchr, Challenge? That's putting it mildly. However, I get obsessed by the seemingly impossible. I spent a couple of years trying to draw a rubber band selection box . I have no doubt there is a solution for performing a DateStamp on a given millisecond but I don't think we're there yet. You show t...

Just a thought. You may be using 20 year old Macro Scheduler but from the path you supplied: C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\TRX for Windows.lnk You are using an up to date operating system. Windows Defender has been killing some, not all, of my executables. Phil Pendlebur...

Working on ideas. I'm getting a sense that millisecond timing on PCs is a major issue. Discovered that a script that gives 90s% 000:00 hits running in native Macro Scheduler might only give two hits in a thousand cycles running as an executable. Also for some reason remarks, even when they are outsi...

Cool! Not a gamer. My Buddy Dave got the Atari Tank game back around 1977(?) We started playing Friday afternoon and played continuously until the wee hours of Sunday morning. I'd only been married for a short time then and was nearly divorced because of my "addiction". Have steered clear of video g...

Here's my take: Using arrays, no files. Take the list and place it into an array with Separate>. Sort the array using ArraySort> then write to a new list each time a new name arrives summing the numbers if the name repeats. Started the repeat at 1 to skip over the blank line created by LabelToVar> /...

Glad you agree. Its always worrisome not quite knowing what others are thinking. Not that I haven't had to pull my foot out of my mouth hundreds of times before. Still, strive for "accuracy". I would add to your "If>" line to catch the possibility of not yet having saved/named the new macro. GetActi...

Am I missing something here? Is not "running in debug" simply another way of saying "running in the editor"? In my experience no matter how you run a non-compiled script the command_line variable will always be installed_directory\msched.exe . That includes running in the editor. The only way I am a...

Looked this up this afternoon to steal er... I mean borrow the code portion that parses seconds into minutes, hours and days. Discovered that in Windows 10 the script as a whole no longer functions for me. The problem is that I'm not logged in as an admin. It seems you can't write to the C:\Program ...

SSD vs conventional hard drive... I suppose that could be possible. The only SSD I have is my personal computer and that is the one that gives me some of the worst results. Writes multiples at the same millisecond then skips to the next 1/64th and writes more multiples I have run your script twice o...

Taskmaster? Who knew? moving up in the world... I've been running mine on 4 machines and only able to get 12% max on one of them. I finally wrote a script that pauses until 59 seconds into the minute, does a standard wait for 0.98 seconds, then runs 30 consecutive lines of datestamp. Not a loop, 30 ...

I have not tried doing anything to analyse load. Having enough trouble just finding a reliable method for timing. Then again maybe load is the problem. :? Here's a tool for parsing out percentages.

hagchr, Thanks for playing... I now have 5 versions. I just keep making it worse. The first version where I got about 10% is my best attempt. I actually have one version that in several hundred datestamp writes only hit 00:000 twice. I'm thinking your 29% is really excellent. things happen... There'...
