Measuring Time Elapsed

fightcancer · Post by **fightcancer** » Wed Sep 30, 2009 6:42 am

I keep time stamps on my orders with:

GetTime>vTime
GetDate>vDate
Let>TimeStamp=%vDate% %vtime%

Then I log it to a file with EditIniFile>. I don't want to check orders more than once every 5 min. Is there an easy way to code whether 5 min. has elapsed? If not, I'll use Midstr and Pos to dig out the numbers. Just wondering if anyone's already written a simple script and posted it. Thanks.

Nevermind, I think this thread will get me started.

Yes. Use VBScript's Timer function.

Code: Select all

VBSTART
VBEND

VBEval>Timer,startTime

.. do something

VBEval>Timer-%startTime%,secondsElapsed
MessageModal>seconds elapsed: %secondsElapsed%
