Progress Bar with no progress

[cracksys]

CODE

$dirsize_before = DirGetSize("E:\Briefcase\", 1)

$dirsize_cur = $dirsize_before

$percent = 100

ProgressOn("Briefcase Backup!", "", "Removing Briefcase directory ...", -1, -1, 1)

DirRemove("E:\Briefcase\", 1)

While $percent > 0

$dirsize_cur = DirGetSize("E:\Briefcase\", 1)

$percent = ($dirsize_cur *100) / $dirsize_before

ProgressSet( $percent, "Removing Briefcase directory ... " & $dirsize_before & "%", "")

WEnd

Progress bar will appear before folder romoval but its stayed there forever without any progress shown. Even after folder has been completely removed.

Read again the function definition of DirGetSize(). It returns an array type if the second parameter is 1 so something like:

$dirsize_cur = DirGetSize("E:\Briefcase\", 1)
$percent = ($dirsize_cur *100) / $dirsize_beforeoÝ÷ Ú+½©nj׶®¶­sbb33c¶F'6¦Uö7W"ÒF$vWE6¦RgV÷C´S¢b3#´'&Vf66Rb3#²gV÷C²Â¢b33c·W&6VçBÒ£òb33c¶F'6¦Uö&Vf÷&R²÷6öÖWFærÒ

Silly me. So, it should've been like this :

$percent = ($dirsize_cur[0] *100) / $dirsize_before[0]

Correct? -- I'm sorry, at office right now so no testing.

... on success. Always check if a variable is of array type before accessing it's subscript members, so you can do yourself a favor and use IsArray, exactly as in the function example script in the help file. Edited May 9, 2009 by Authenticity

Thanks. I tried but I failed.

$dirsize_before = DirGetSize("E:\Briefcase\", 1)
            $dirsize_cur = DirGetSize("E:\Briefcase\", 1)
            ProgressOn("Briefcase Backup!", "", "Removing Briefcase directory ...", -1, -1, 1)
            If IsArray($dirsize_before) Then
                DirRemove("E:\Briefcase\", 1)
                Do
                    $percent = $dirsize_cur[0] * 100 / $dirsize_before[0]
                    ProgressSet( $dirsize_cur[0] * 100 / $dirsize_before[0], "Removing Briefcase directory ... " & $percent, "")
                Until $dirsize_cur[1] = 0
                ProgressOff()
            EndIf

Folder will be removed but progress bar start updating after that and its kept looping.

I guess that it's because you're not updating the variable. If $dirsize_cur[1] is 65 files when entering the loop, it'll be so forever because nothing is updating the variable. You need to call DirGetSize() also while in the loop, don't know if it'll return something because technically you've removed this directory.
