how to get the percentage of completion? during a copy!

Hi all,
I would like to know how to introduce that progress bar or the %of completion during copy of files...

In the sense,I am copying a few files onto RAM at the boot time....
These 2 files combined take about 550mb of ram,so instead of just having a blinking cursor till the copy is over,i thought of giving a percentage of completion value...
But how do i do that?
How to get that ,1%......10%......100%..
Something like this!!

Pls advice!
