Progressbar with Percent per line

[Thidian]

Hello fellow forum members.

For the past 3 days, I've been struggling to get a working progressbar that increments x% per line.

something like:

$read = fileread("file.txt", 0)
$count = _filecountline("file.txt")
$100percent = ($count/2); Only need half of the lines read, format of the file is currently: Text, new row, BLANK, new row, Text.

And from there on, I'm stuck.

What I'm trying is to make the progressbar to increment for every 2nd line read by a % (If there's 4 lines in total, 2 is 100% and 1 is 50%, thus making it move 50% at a time to 100%)

I've tried EVERY imaginable solution (By searching etc) and now I'm in need of some help.

Sincerly, Thidan.

This should work: (not tested code)

$count = _FileCountLines("file.txt")
$100percent = ($count/2); Only need half of the lines read, format of the file is currently: Text, new row, BLANK, new row, Text.
$unit_progress = $100percent/100

For $i = 1 To $count
    $text_line = FileReadLine("file.txt", $i)
    If StringStripWS($text_line, 8) = "" Then ContinueLoop      ;if the line is blank go to next line (do not set progress)
    ;or
    ;If Mod($i, 2) = 0 Then ContinueLoop                        ;do not set progress if line has an even number
    ;
    GUICtrlSetData($your_progress, $i*$unit_progress)
Next

Hmm....

Seems like "GUICtrlSetData($your_progress, $i*$unit_progress)" doesn't change anything but if I change "$i*$unit_progress)" to for example "15", it sets the value to 15 like it should.

Edit:

Got it to work, I think.

Going to try it around alittle more.

Edit2:

Ignore the above statement.

Used $i/$unit_progress >.<

Seems like I've edited too much or something, can't edit my post >_<

After doing some research.

Let's say the file contains 2 lines that I want to use (4 in total).

You divide by 100.

Sum from that will be 0.02.

When the progress is updated, it uses (example value: $i = 1) $i*0.02=1*0.02=0.02=2% of the total 100% of the progress and not the 100% I'm after =/

Going to search for some progress UDF.

[enaiman]

lol - what UDF are you after???

Just think a little bit!

Have a look at this example:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Global $lines = 12
Global $unit = 100/($lines/2)

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 511, 114, 192, 124)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Form1Close")
$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(24, 32, 457, 25)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 232, 80, 75, 25, $WS_GROUP)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "Button1Click")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Button1Click()
    For $i = 1 To $lines
        ;$text_line = FileReadLine("file.txt", $i)
        ;If StringStripWS($text_line, 8) = "" Then ContinueLoop      ;if the line is blank go to next line (do not set progress)
        ;or
        If Mod($i, 2) = 0 Then ContinueLoop                        ;do not set progress if line has an even number
        ;
        GUICtrlSetData($Progress1, ($i+1)/2*$unit)
        Sleep(500)
    Next
    MsgBox(0, "", "DONE")
EndFunc
Func Form1Close()
    Exit
EndFunc

If you can't get your code to work after this; I'm giving up.

Think I get it now, cheers mate.

The thing is, the file I'm reading can have up to 15k lines in it and my brain just froze while trying (Tested the other example you gave me inside my code but it just got all messy)

And I just thought there might be a UDF that sets a pbar max to whatever number you wanted to but nevermind >_<

Once again cheers <3

_FileCountLines() Func, Does not work with files > 300Mb

[nfaustin]

Try this...

$read = fileread("file.txt", 0) 
$count = _filecountline("file.txt")
$100percent = ($count/2) ---> $100percent = (100 / ($count/2)) ; $100percent variable is your add-ons on Progress bar
