    Displaying progress ?

    Hey all,

    I was thinking... I'm running that log script right now, through gigs and
    gigs of logfiles. Is there a way
    to display progress, other than write-host commands, possibly via a text-based
    progress bar, or some-
    thing, while the script is running, so you have some form of ETA for when
    the script is done ?



    Best Regards,

    Jacob,

    The Write-Progress Cmdlet should do exactly what you need. Type "Get-
    Help Write-Progress -Examples" for some examples of how to use it.
