Thanks Mike. In the jscript code below I am getting the starting time
correctly. The problem was with the ending time, as the script does not wait
for the exe to complete its run before it was giving the ending time. I
rewrote it as follow in vbscript, it does the job for me . I realy don't
know jscript or vbscript. This was one time thing. Again as always thanks a
million for all your contributions on this board.
Dim WshShell, oExec, Ending_Time, Starting_Time
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Starting_Time = FormatDateTime(time, 3)
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("c:\\Amibroker\\mytask.exe /f ")
Do While oExec.Status = 0
Ending_Time = FormatDateTime(time, 3)
Loop
WScript.Echo "Starting_Time = " & Starting_Time & " Ending_Time = " &
Ending_Time

Use one of the *methods* on the Date object to get the value.
