hmmm weird....

i ran this.

code:
$a = val(@ticks)
$file =  "f.u.b.a.r.exe.txt"
$file = split($file,".")
for $i = 0 to ubound($file)-1
	if $i = ubound($file)-1
		$Name = $Name + $file[$i]
	else
		$Name = $Name + $file[$i] + "."
	endif
		
next
$b = val(@ticks)
? $Name
? "Time spent = " $b-$a


$a = val(@ticks)
$file = "f.u.b.a.r.exe.txt"
$file = Left($file,InStrRev($file,".")-1)
$b = val(@ticks)
? $file
? "Time spent = " $b-$a
Mine and Les's code to measure any speed dif, and on my computer, both are

Time = 0

I had to put a sleep(1) statement in there just to make sure it was working!!
