| | Progress Status All, Was wondering if there was a way to show the status of a script by doing something like the following: C:\Script in Progress...10% then when the script continues it will look like this C:\Script in Progress...20% I would like to do this so it doesnt take up the whole screen with a bunch of "..........". If I have 300000 loops, that is a lot of periods. I know how to figure out the percentage. Just need to know how to replace the text... Thanks Craig |

If you're using an HTA you can use script to replace the text. You could also leave the basic text the way it is, use a LABEL for the number, and change the LABEL innertext property. If you use STYLE to set the font, etc. of both a span and a label you should be able to make it look blended: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE></TITLE> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript"> Sub Count(NumberValue) LabCounter.innerText = NumberValue End Sub </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY onload="Count(30)"> <SPAN ID="counter"> Curent progress... <LABEL ID="LabCounter"></LABEL></SPAN> </BODY></HTML> |

| | Re: Progress Status Sorry, I should have specified that I want this to update in the command window. So it will look something like this: C:\cscript script.vbs C:\Script in Progress...10% .... C:\Script in Progress...20% Just want the percentage to change...

'WScript.StdOut.Write' to write the percentage & when it changes, write backspaces and then the new percentage. See code below for a simple example. Make sure to run it from cscript. It will throw an exception if run from wscript. WScript.StdOut.Write "Script in Progress...00%" For i = 1 to 10 WScript.Sleep 1000 WScript.StdOut.Write String(3, Chr(08)) & CStr(i * 10) & "%" Next |
