GetTickCount

Synopsis

                  
                  GetTickCount( )

Returns a counter representing the elapsed time in milliseconds from the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970, 00:00 GMT). GetTickCount( ) is useful for reporting the amount of time it takes to process specific parts of CFML code. The following example counts the time (in milliseconds) it takes to process a loop with 10,000 iterations:

<cfset Start = GetTickCount( )>
   
<cfoutput><b>Start TickCount:</b> #Start#</cfoutput>
   
<p>Looping from 1 to 10000
   
<cfset Timer="0">
<cfloop index="counter" from="1" to="10000">
  <cfset Timer=Timer+1>
</cfloop>
<cfset End = GetTickCount( )>
   
<p>
<cfoutput><b>End TickCount:</b> #End#</cfoutput>
   
<cfset TotalTime = (Evaluate(End - Start))>
<p>
<cfoutput><b>Total processing time:</b> #TotalTime# milliseconds</cfoutput>
