CLI: Copy with Progress Window?

I have to copy much files via shell script.

Is there a way to display the progress in a window just like when I drag'n'drop files on the Workbench?

@Mason

You could use the echo command to print a * ever 100 Files or so. Or you could use the Installer if the script is a installer, like in your AISS.

We have written a copy programme with a progess meter:

@Mason

search on AMINET "copy progress" and you get:

pcopy.lha util/cli 7 12K 2002-03-24 m68k-amigaos Like AmigaDos copy; with progress, time and speed - (readme)

SCopy10.lha util/cli 3 15K 1996-06-01 m68k-amigaos See copy speed and progress on slow devices - (readme)

SCopy108.lha util/sys 0 8K 1995-04-26 m68k-amigaos Copy command with progress indicators - (readme)

BYE

@all

Thanks for the suggestions!
I will have a look at it.

Even as I more thought about a parameter for the standard copy comand.

The standard copy command prints the names of the files, this is a kind of progress indicator. Maybe it is the simplest to not use >NIL: ?

I know, I know, but it looks not 'stylish'

@Mason

you could try a script like this:

.bra {
.ket }
.key source,dest

echo "Copying Zillions of files the hard way" noline
list {source} lformat="echo . noline*ncopy *"%F%N*" *"{dest}*"" >t:copyscript
execute t:copyscript
delete t:copyscript
echo Done.


it will just print a dot for each file copied.

This is totally untested, use at your own risk etc.
