Time Calculation of Macro Running Time

[Rambo-X]

Good Day Dear All,

I have a requirement to know a time comparison between the Macro's I run to help me make them more efficient.

My exact requirement is that I want to get the run time of my current Macro ( Generally found in the Bottom Right Hand Corner in the App ) ex : 1:52:33:281 ( H:MM:SS:MS )

And then a message box to appear stating,

01. The current Run time of the Macro I ran.
02. That time multiplied by 100
03. That time multiplied by 200

so on until 500 up to 6 Lines.

Plus let's say I change my mind to multiply the Point No. 02 by 10 then how could I assign it to change from 100 to 10 etc.
Is that Possible?

Then I would know how long would I need to run a script and so on.

Thank you very much for this Wonderful place.

Stay safe and Tc.

Hi Rambox,

I believe what you are looking for is %TIME_MACRO%.
Example below.

1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE DECIMAL VARIABLE | %DECIMAL1%::%TIME_MACRO%
2 | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | %DECIMAL1%::Time::0

Hello Zeak,

Yeah but a little bit more detailed than that.

Like I don't want the Macro to stop in the Middle. 

Let me take a small example.

Lets say My Macro is 10 lines long. Doing some basic stuff clicks and all, yeah. then at the end it stops.

That's when I need the message Box.

This message Box needs me to give me information line by line. ( wouldn't mind even if it's message Box after message Box at the end either )
But what should they contain,

Box 1 / Line 1 : The Entire Run time of the 10 Lines
Box 2 / Line 2 : ( Now this should get generated after a calculation, because physically the coding lines aren't available ) The Entire Run time "IF" it was 100 Lines ( Like if I had copy pasted these 10 lines one after the other 10 times, it would be 100 lines )
Box 3 / Line 3 : ( Now this should get generated after a calculation, because physically the coding lines aren't available ) The Entire Run time "IF" it was 200 Lines ( Like if I had copy pasted these 10 lines one after the other 20 times, it would be 200 lines )

So on until 500.

Is this possible Brother?

Hi Rambo-X

Is this possible, well...sorta but not really with MMM how it is currently. zeak pointed out the %TIME_MACRO% variable. This is ok for getting the running time but thats about it. It not great for doing any logic around it.
There are other TIME variables:

%TIME% - The current time in full
%TIME_MS% - The current ms
%TIME_S% - the current second
%TIME_M% - the current minute
%TIME_H% - the current hour

I'd suggest doing you time logic outside of MMM. Probs a simple bash script could handle it, or powershell. Then feed this value back in to MMM using INPUT FROM FILE (www.turnssoft.com/conditions.html#inputfromfile).

I've expanded the internal TIME_MACRO variable to be more granular for time calculations.

It's made it's way in the next update (version 8.1) under improvement 2 (minimousemacro.proboards.com/thread/278/update-coming-next-mouse-macro).

The %TIME_MACRO% internal variable is now expanded to include granular total output:
%TIME_MACRO_H% - The total running time in hours
%TIME_MACRO_M% - The total running time in minutes
%TIME_MACRO_S% - The total running time in seconds
%TIME_MACRO_MS% - The total running time in milliseconds

The new variables will allow for logic like this:
10 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %TIME_MACRO_M% | LESS THAN | 5 | GOTO MACRO LINE | PROCESS | ELSE | 10 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | STAGE

The new variables will also make it easier to do some math operations against the time:
1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::%TIME_MACRO_M%::*100

Thank you Rambo-X for the idea.

Thanks a lot for your Feedback and Update Steve.

It's nothing but a humongous pleasure to have helped you with this little thought to a GREAT GREAT APP.
