this isn't really an openwrt related question, but did you try time ?

cant find or understand how to get curent time in milisecond

do you need start, and stop time, or run time ?

i need to get time at some point in script
like start and end time
and then calculate

i need to measure speed for different function in my scripts

some functions

endtime=

timespeed=endtime-startime

idk what OOTB means

busybox contains common shell commands, but each with limited features.

try installing the fullblown date command via opkg: coreutils-date

ofcouse json is much powerfull than grep awk etc but in my case iw works beter

yes i need to compare json and grep with iw
so iw with grep in my case works faster 2 times

but i know the power of json
