How do I get the system time in Windows?

[LFX]

I know there is the system() expression, but the only thing that works is system(time), not 'time /t'.

Edit: Or do you know another way to check how much time has passed since the last cook of a node?

you can use python for that, for example

import time

print time.time()

will print time elapsed since epoch in seconds. see the documentation of the "time" module for much more options:

http://docs.python.org/library/time.html

there is also a "datetime" module which allows you to do complex manipulations on objects representing time points or ranges.

Even if I hadn't need it in the end, I won't forget to thank you for your answer!
