Hi Guys,How could I time in milli seconds the time it took to download a webpage file?  I saw a post on seconds but need it more precise than that.  Is it posible?Also I saw in the example you used the DateDiff functions - I can't seem to get these to work on my pc.  Is there anything I need to enable or is there a plugin?ThanksTim

You can save two time points and calculate difference by using DateDiff basic function.
But, unfortunately DateDiff have seconds as minimum interval for calculations.

I'm afraid that it's impossible to calculate difference in milliseconds now. Probably we have to add such functionality into the program. I wrote this into our ToDo.

Thanks Oleg,that would be good if it was in the list.  The only issue I have is I can't seem to get the DateDiff function to work.  It just outputs as a string.Can you describe how to get the DateDiff function as it seems to output as a string.  Do I need to do something special?

Eg.  DateDiff ("s", "{STARTTIME}", "{ENDTIME}")  should show a value right but it just outputs as string.DateDiff ("s", "2012-07-20 10:29:50", "2012-07-20 10:29:52")

thanks Oleg a timer function in the software would be of great value in a lot of areas.  Eg.  Create a time function to start and stop then pull the value.I hope to see it.tim
