progress bar


Recommended Posts

You mean a 2-step progress bar ?

How long does it take to create two .csv files?

How are the two files created?

A file exists when you begin writing into it, so checking for the bare existence would be not very precise.

You could use the size of the file (FileGetSize) or something.

Don't really get the need of a progress bar, when creating two text files :ph34r:

ciao Proff , yes I need a progres bar 'cos I do a web query after I convert all the data in 2 csv file it depends about the connections peed so I need a progress bar til the job is done the csv does'nt exist before infact my utility name it with date function.

At the moment I'm using a while incremental loop but it's just a count not real progress job bar

A progress bar has to measure something.

Like lines in text file, items in category, files in folder.

AutoIt can't see what other applications are doing, so you can't measure it.

And a progressbar that goes 50% -> 100% (for two files) isn't useful (to me).

my progress bar gotta run til the the file exist

this is the meta code

$file1=1.csv

$file2=2.csv

while ( 1.csv==0 ||2.csv==0)

{

// progress bar code

}

Two steps:

File does not exist -> File does exist

If you have two files, that's 50% per file.

0% -> 50% -> 100%

So, that's like I said:

And a progressbar that goes 50% -> 100% (for two files) isn't useful (to me).

Suggestion:

Create a splashtext box that updates when a file does exist:

SplashTextOn("SplashWindow", "", -1, -1, -1, -1, 4, "")
For $i = 1 To 2
    If $i = 1 Then $file = "path\to\file1"
    If $i = 2 Then $file = "path\to\file2"

    While Not FileExists($file)
        Sleep(500)
    WEnd

    ControlSetText("SplashWindow", "", "Static1", $file & " exists!")

Next
SplashOff()

As it's been previously explained... if your writing to the file with an external program, and nothing about the actual file changes until the last part of the write, nothing in auto-it is going to let you pick up the status of the file creation. Either make the file in autoit, or make your other program create the file, and add text to it step by step, then count the amount of lines, how many total lines your expecting, divide the two, and you have the math for a progress bar.

Sitting comfortably behind the code.

First:

If $i = 1 Then $file = "path\first.xls"

If $i = 2 Then $file = "path\second.xls

You should replace those with full path names with the appropriate filenames.

Second:

@Davman

I think that last idea may not work. Because it is possible that an application opens and locks the text file to write so other applications can't use/read the file.

Hmm, possible... but sometimes i find that only high data files are locked when being written. Anyways, like i said, get autoit to make the file, that'll fix stuff up nicely.
