PPWIZARD is a free preprocessor for HTML, REXX, Visual Basic or any text files.

Switch /DebugTime[:NoOrFormat]

This is a PPWIZARD command line switch. You can set up your own default switches in the "PPWIZARD_OPTIONS" environment variable or in project files.

By default ppwizard outputs the elapsed time (short display format) at the start of any debug line it outputs. This option allows you to select a longer format (HH:MM:SS.99) or turn off time generation altogether.

Outputting the time can help you identify areas of code that may be taking longer than you'd expect to execute.

The parameter should be one of the following values:

• N or NO

• L or LONG

• S or SHORT

Note that ppwizard is optimised for fast execution with debug turned off, and in fact may perform extra work when debug is on (on the assumption that execution time is not an issue). For these reasons you should use the timings you obtain as a guide only.

Note that a regina bug (in versions less than 2.0) prevents this from working correctly at this time.
