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.
