Help with a progressbar

[MyEarth]

Hello guys

I have a commandline software that create report based on the characteristics of the pc

Example create 10 files .htm in a folder called "Report"

Now this commandline don't have any stdout-stderr so i can't check nothing. I have think to create a progress bar based on the file count of the folder, like:

At start folder "Report" has 0 file? Save that value in a $var

--> Run(mysoftware.exe)

ProgressBar --> Creating 1 of 10 .htm... ( 10 % )

Compare $var with the file count, folder "Report" has now +1 file?

ProgressBar --> Creating 2 of 10 .htm... ( 20 % )

etc. ovb in real-temp until 10 of 10 and 100%

Except Run(mysoftware.exe) i don't have any idea how to accomplish this (post an empty GUI with a progress bar and a label is useless) some suggestion?

Many Thanks

Hi, MyEarth. Have you looked at the help file? The example for ProgressOn does almost exactly what you are seeking to do, using a for loop. It would be trivial to modify it for your needs:

For $i = 1 to 10
   ProgressSet($i, $i & "%")
   ;Code to process file
Next

ProgressSet(100, "Done", "Complete")

Wait, i know how to create a ProgressBar ( i prefer GUICtrlCreateProgress+GUICtrlSetData ) but the problem is how to increase the progress count based on the commandline, i have think to check the file count but i don't know what is the proper way.

Just to clarify, you run this report and it generates 10 files in this directory, correct? Are there any other files in the directory?

 

Edit: Something like this, perhaps:

#include <File.au3>

ProgressOn("Progress Meter", "Increments every second", "0%")


    For $i = 1 To 10
        FileWrite(@DesktopDir & "\Test\" & $i & ".txt", "Test") ;create a new file in the directory, this is what your command line software is doing
        $aArray = _FileListToArray(@DesktopDir & "\Test", "*", 1)
        Sleep(1000)
        ProgressSet($i * 10, $i * 10 & "%")
    Next

    ProgressSet(100, "Done", "Complete")
    Sleep(5000)

    ProgressOff()

Are there any other files in the directory? --> Is possible.

I'll check the script

I have resolved partially

Local $MyPath = @ScriptDir & "\Report"
Local $nReport = 145
Local $MySoft = Run("MySoftware.exe")

Do
    $iCurrentCount = _TotalFileNumber($MyPath)
    GUICtrlSetData($Label, $iCurrentCount & " of " & $nReport & ")")
    GUICtrlSetData($ProgressBar, $iCurrentCount * $nReport) ;ERROR HERE!
Until $iCurrentCount = $iStartingCount + $nReport

Func _TotalFileNumber($sPath)
    Local $sSearch = FileFindFirstFile($sPath & "\*.*"), $iCount = 0
    If $sSearch = -1 Then Return $iCount
    While 1
        Local $sFile = FileFindNextFile($sSearch)

        If @error Then ExitLoop
        $iCount += 1
    WEnd
    FileClose($sSearch)
    Return $iCount
EndFunc   ;==>_TotalFileNumber

About the $Label, every work fine ( it flickering but i can resolve later, it's not a problem ) but about the progress bar, i don't know how to make the correct math

If the file are 10, $iCurrentCount * $nReport is correct but if the file are 145? Or 765?

Thanks

(Current File #/Total Files)*100 = Percentage

Thanks
