I want to find out how long it takes for a function to run...

timer on
CallFunction(blah,blah etc etc)
timer off
get time in millisecs

Any ideas please?

i think someone has made a lib for that ( :?:

)
but you can do it as such

time = GetTickCount_()
YourFunction()
debug GetTickCount_()-time

This is in millisec:

t1=timeGetTime_()
allFunction(blah,blah etc etc)
t2=timeGetTime_()-t1

Thanks guys. Those tips were a great help, and worked fine. If it was in my help file (3.

I wouldn't have had to ask. But who cares, with a helpful forum such as this, I can live without it's completeness !!

It's not in the help file because GetTickCount is an API command (as are
all commands ending with an underscore). All such commands are part
of another huge set of docs for Windows programmers, and as such are
not included with PureBasic because they are not PureBasic-specific.
See the FAQ in the Beginners forum for more details.
