How to put progress bar in script ?

[bolobaboo]

Hi
I have script which does backup for files. Is there way to put progress bar showing currently backing up files from total or % indicator ? I am not looking fancy, just show backup is running and how many left out of total.

Thanks inadvance

Try searching for progressbar. It turned up some useful results:

Or use the Shell.Application.CopyFromHere method.

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV's solution would be the way to go if you indeed want a true representation of what has actually moved.

This code was PHV's from another thread:

srcfile="\path\to\bigfile"
destdir="\\server\share\path\to\dir"
Set SA=CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set NS=SA.NameSpace(destdir)
NS.CopyHere srcfile,16
