Percent bar or progress report 1

[fabien]

Hi!

I would like to add a percent bar when reading large files. Something like

0% xxxxxxx||||||||| 100%
50% complete

Is it possible?

Many thanks!

Which bit are you having trouble with?

Drawing the percentage bar?
Figuring out when you've read the next 1% of the file?

My problem is to be able to draw the bar on top of the previous one, i.e., make the cursor come back to the begining of the line.

Thanks,

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
  int i;
  printf("Hello, World!\n");
  for ( i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ ) {
    printf("Now %02d\r", i );
    fflush( stdout );
    Sleep(1000);  // Windows specific delay
  }
  return 0;
}

The "\r" returns to the start of the current line, and the fflush(stdout) ensures your text can be seen.
The delay of course is your extended file reading code.
