Description

Description:
BIS fnc codePerformance.png

Measures how much time it takes to execute given expression. Results may vary based on overall performance; use this function to compare alternative scripting approaches rather than to measure specific values. Upon function execution, window with results is opened. The user then has a choice to copy the result into clipboard or not.
This function is using diag_codePerformance command.

Use toString _code instead of str as the latter adds curly braces to the string.
