Batch scripting question: Progress Indicator
Hello all,
Software/Hardware used:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
I write quite a few batch scripts and have never really come across how to display some sort of progress counter for the file.
Is there a way to do this or does it depend on the type of script that I am running?
Thank you.

Answer Wiki:
You can try this code (found on www.dostips.com) which uses the DOS window title as a progress indicator -
@ECHO OFF
set "max=11"
call :initProgress %max% "Window Title: [PPP]"
for /l %%N in (1,1,%max%) do (
ping -n 2 -w 1 127.0.0.1>NUL
call:doProgress
)
GOTO:EOF
:initProgress max format -- initialize an internal progress counter and display the progress in percent
:: -- max [in] - progress counter maximum, equal to 100 percent
:: -- format [in,opt] - title string formatter, default is '[P] completed.'
:$created 20060101 :$changed 20080327
:$source http://www.dostips.com
set /a "ProgressCnt=-1"
set /a "ProgressMax=%~1"
set "ProgressFormat=%~2"
if not defined ProgressFormat set "ProgressFormat=[PPPP]"
set "ProgressFormat=%ProgressFormat:[PPPP]=[P] completed.%"
call:doProgress
EXIT /b
:doProgress -- display the next progress tick
:$created 20060101 :$changed 20080327
:$source http://www.dostips.com
set /a "ProgressCnt+=1"
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set /a "per100=100*ProgressCnt/ProgressMax"
set /a "per10=per100/10"
set /a "per10m=10-per100/10-1"
set "P=%per100%%%"
set "PP="
for /l %%N in (0,1,%per10%) do call set "PP=%%PP%%*"
for /l %%N in (%per10%,1,9) do call set "PP=%%PP%% "
set "PPP="
for /l %%N in (0,1,%per10m%) do call set "PPP=%%PPP%%*"
set "ProgressFormat=%ProgressFormat:[P]=!P!%"
set "ProgressFormat=%ProgressFormat:[PP]=!PP!%"
set "ProgressFormat=%ProgressFormat:[PPP]=!PPP!%"
title %ProgressFormat%
EXIT /b
