Hi Gang,

Is there a way to get the current system time in MEL? For instance in Javascript you have a Date object that can get the time in milliseconds.

var testTime = new Date();

var testTimeMilli = testTime.getTime();

//testTimeMilli equals a value in milliseconds based on system clock.


Anything like this I could get my grubby paws on in MEL?

Thanks in advance,

-Lu

Found it.

Looks like timerX is my best friend for now. The F1 key is amazing. Thanks!!!

global proc int sm_returnTime ()
{
string $timeOutput = `system("time")`;
string $buffer1[];
$numTokens = `tokenize $timeOutput ":" $buffer1`;
string $hour = $buffer1[1];
string $min = $buffer1[2];
//tokenize once more
string $buffer2[];
$numTokens = `tokenize $buffer1[3] "." $buffer2`;
string $sec = $buffer2[0];

print ("Hour = " + $hour + "\n");
print ("Min = " + $min + "\n");
print ("Sec = " + $sec + "\n");

string $HourMin = ($hour + $min);
return $HourMin;
}
