how to monitor (in console) the processing time of each line of my scripts?

[Imbuter2000]

I would like to monitor (in console) the processing time of each line of my scripts.

Is there a shorter/cleaner way to do it than to insert a consolewrite(Timerdiff($timer) & @crlf) between each line of my scripts? (hundreds of lines!)

yo dawg i heard you like scripts...

you can script a script to interleave the console writes in your script

 

that would be a nice tool to add to scite in the same way  TOOLS > TRACE: ADD TRACE LINES works.

Reasking the same question just rewording it isn't going to make it magically easier.

 

Delve into the Lua script that is used to insert  the trace lines that gruntyDatsun mentioned and modify it to insert timer functions instead, that would probably be the easiest way.

it's really late here.  i want to try this now but I think it would lead to a divorce. something fun for tomorrow.

Ah sorry I misinterpreted what gruntyDatsun meant.

Now I got it... but it would be unsatisfatory to me because I want permanently keep it ON even while working on my scripts.

The purpose is to ALWAYS be alerted when an instruction takes too much time  (for example an _IENavigate page load, that takes different time each time...)

No idea what you're looking for then, you can't time a script unless it's running, and from what you just wrote you want to time a script as you're writing it? How do you plan on "being alerted" when it "takes too much time"? Too much time is extremely vague and has no meaning out of context, and being alerted can have many meanings depending upon what method you intend the alert to use.

ahah no, I just meant that I don't want to cancel and relaunch something so intrusive like an ADD TRACE LINES each time after I add a line of code. It would be like a mess and time-expensive to work with this "weight"!

Unless you're willing to "do the work" by putting a timer before and after every line in your code, then the answer would have to be no you can't time the lines of your script in any meaningful way.

Ok, this is what I thought.

My wish was something working at run-time like   "#AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y"

or even... a timer added to each line written to console by it...

[BrewManNH]

I personally think that, unless you're just timing chunks of code, timing your script isn't going to give you very much meaningful information. If you think the script is running too slowly in a certain section of the code, time that part and see if you can optimize it. Timing every single line is going to give you too much information, and very little of it will be useful.

For example, I use many XML msxml6.dll COM calls to parse third-party websites
and I want to be alerted (in a alert.log file) when any XML parse takes more than 1 second.
The third-party websites can change and therefore the XML parse time can change in future...

Is the only option to add a timer line of code after each XML parse command?
or to create a corresponding function for every msxml command (containing a timer)?!

Imbuter2000,

I find this UDF very handy for timing the functions and reasonably sized code chunks in some of my longer scripts.

Interesting utility, I'll consider it...  Thanks!
