progress meter

[Roedy]

It would be nice if I could monitor the progress of a BTM file by having it modify the corresponding strip on the taskbar. It could change colours or display an ever-growing bar background the way Tortoise Subversion does, or change the icon.

I could not see anything in the left margin to post this as a suggestion.

When I needed a batch or rexx script to indicate its current cycle, I used a code roughly like charout. '.' or echos .

However, not all batches run in this way, and it's a cycle marker, which may be used with an unkown number of cycles.

Something like this?
(based on TCC LE 14; hence the @formatn; LE doesn't support @floor)

1. @echo off
2. cls
3. 
   
4. :: Progress is percentage..
5. alias progress=`scrput 0 0 bri yel on cya %@repeat[.,%_columns] & scrput 0 0 bri yel on cya %@repeat[X,%@formatn[.0,%@eval[%1 * %[_columns] / 100 ]]]`
6. 
   
7. 
   
8. progress 0
9. delay 1
10. 
    
11. progress 10
12. delay 1
13. 
    
14. progress 50
15. delay 1
16.
