Trying to implement a progress bar while Analog loads report

[Hanif]

What happens is, "Loading Weekly.." is displayed but is stuck while loading analog's reports. How do I get it to continue to process the rest of the batch while while it is loading analog so my progress bar can be displayed?
This is my batch file:

@echo off
title LOADER
set load=echo Loading Weekly Statistical Reports...

echo wscript.sleep 1000 > wait.vbs
set wait=wscript.exe wait.vbs
c:


%load%
cd c:\Program Files\analog 6.0\
call analog.exe +g"w20080606.cfg" -G +F080706:0001

+T080712:2359
echo 5%%%
%wait%
cls
%load%
echo 10%%%
%wait%
cls

echo 15%%%

echo Completed Loading!
pause
exit

okay, I can't help you with the main problem... but I can make an improvement for the output thing

Code: Select all

set /a percentofloading=0
:loop
if %percentofloading%==100 (
goto complete
) else (
cls
%load%
echo %percentofloading% %%%
%wait%
set /a percentofloading=%percentofloading% + 5
)

that's instead of your 400 lines "echo the status" component

thanks for your reply

I'll need the call for the analog.exe and have a progress bar measure how long analog is taking to process the reports from the server logs

your error is in (just in case you didn't knew):

Code: Select all

call analog.exe +g"w20080606.cfg" -G +F080706:0001

+T080712:2359 

and again i have a minor "improvement", I don't if this is useful in any ways, but instead of running a visual basic script, you could use the timeout function silenced...

Code: Select all

set wait="TIMEOUT 1"

this will wait/sleep 1 second...

I I have to disappoint you, I can't help with the main-problem

use
set wait=cscript.exe //nologo wait.vbs
instead of
set wait=wscript.exe wait.vbs

use the START statement rather than the CALL statement if you want to execute other commands while the program is running:
start "" "analog.exe" +g"w20080606.cfg" -G +F080706:0001
