Measure time for opening a large file using windows batch file

Question

I would like to open few large files (word, excel, power-point etc) using a Windows batch file and I would like to record if the operation passed or failed. If it passed I would like to write to the log. All that I have done is below, however, I am unable to measure the time it is taking for opening the files. I tried few scripts but they all failed.

please can you help me

echo StartTime = %Time% >> C:\Users\abc\Desktop\time.log
start winword.exe && (
echo Pass: MS Word opened at: %date% %time% >> C:\Users\abc\Desktop\time.log
) || (
echo Fail: MS Word Errored at: %date% %time% >> C:\Users\abc\Desktop\time.log
)
echo EndTime = %Time% >> C:\Users\abc\Desktop\time.log


echo StartTime = %Time% >> C:\Users\abc\Desktop\time.log
start excel.exe && (
echo Pass: MS Excel opened at: %date% %time% >> C:\Users\abc\Desktop\time.log
) || (
echo Fail: MS Excel Errored at: %date% %time% >> C:\Users\abc\Desktop\time.log
)
echo EndTime = %Time% >> C:\Users\abc\Desktop\time.log

here's bat file that returns the milliseconds passed since 1970 of when the file is last accessed ( lastaccessed.bat ) that takes a single argument - the file:

@if (@x)==(@y) @end /***** jscript comment ******
     @echo off
     cscript //E:JScript //nologo "%~f0"  %* 
     exit /b %errorlevel%

 @if (@x)==(@y) @end ******  end comment *********/

var FileSystemObj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

var ARGS = WScript.Arguments;
var filename=ARGS.Item(0);
var FileSystemObj = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
function getLastAccessed(obj){
    return obj.DateLastAccessed;
}

var file=FileSystemObj.GetFile(filename);
WScript.Echo((new Date(file.DateLastAccessed)).getTime());

Here's the jeval.bat by dbenham:

@if (@X)==(@Y) @end /* harmless hybrid line that begins a JScrpt comment

:::  A newline (CR/LF) is not appended to the result unless the /N

:::  The JScript expression should be enclosed in double quotes.

if (WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists("n")) {
  WScript.StdOut.WriteLine(eval(WScript.Arguments.Unnamed(0)));

}

Here's how you can calculate the passed time (in secconds) between two openings of a file:

@echo off
for /f %%a in ('lastaccessed.bat "c:\My Folder\book1.xlsx"') do set "time1=%%a"
excel.exe  "c:\My Folder\book1.xlsx"
for /f %%a in ('lastaccessed.bat "c:\My Folder\book1.xlsx"') do set "time2=%%a"

call jeval.bat "(%time2% - %time1%)/1000"

Is this what you looking for?
