TimeRunning function

Pragma · Post by **Pragma** » Sat Jul 05, 2003 2:16 pm

I wanted to implement a function that would measure the time a macro was running, would be helpful for collecting data. However this seeems to not work as intended:

Code: Select all

at program entry point:
 /varset v71 $time(h)
 /varset v72 $time(m)

 /varset v74 $char(level)
 /varset v75 $char(exp)


sub GetRunTime
 
   /if n $v72<=$time(m) /if n $v71<=time(h) {
      /varcalc v72 $time(m)-$v72
      /varcalc v71 $time(h)-$v71
   } 

   /if n $v72>$time(m) /if n $v71<=time(h) {
      /varcalc v72 $time(m)+60-$v72
      /varcalc v71 $time(h)-$v71-1
   } 

   /if n $v72<=$time(m) /if n $v71>time(h) {
      /varcalc v72 $time(m)-$v72
      /varcalc v71 $time(h)+24-$v71
   } 

   /if n $v72>$time(m) /if n $v71>time(h) {
      /varcalc v72 $time(m)+60-$v72
      /varcalc v71 $time(h)+24-$v71-1
   }
   
   /echo Macro ran for $v71 hour(s) and $v72 minute(s)

/return

any ideas?

wouldn't it be easier to use...

$running
Returns the number of seconds the macro has been running

then do the necessary conversions to get hours and minutes etc?

Hehe, well look at the bright side fwiggles, by sitting down and making such a macro, you expand your own knowledge of how scripting works :)
That and it's a challenge (perhaps a small one) to make it ;)

But ya, I would use $running too ;p

ARGGGGGGGGGGGG! Foiled by my own ignorance once again! $running! hahaha. Thanks though, not sure why my code didnt work lol, but this makes things easier :)

Expanding knowledge??? PFFFFTTTT who does that anymore
