progress bar of .bat file

[aphesia]

hello.. is there a way to get a progress bar showing the progress of a .bat file`?

the .bat file mainly starts a programm, moves some files (add them to itunes libary and updates the tracker).

thanks

Somehow, the AutoIt script needs to know how much work is to be done (i.e. number of files to add), and how far it has gone. The .bat file could write info to a log file, which the AutoIt script could monitor. Or the .bat file could ECHO status to the console, which AutoIt could monitor if you Run() the .bat file with $STDOUT_CHILD and use StdOutRead().

If you're okay with putting the bat file up to see that would make it a bit easier.

Is the bat file itself moving the files? What other functions is the bat file using?

jut figured otu it wouldn´t work anyway..

the but file just runs a programm with different parameters.. so i would have to check the progress of the programm it starts (no i dont have the source)..

its called itunes-library updater.

thanks anyway
