shell script that would display installing.... when installign something
Hi,

I am developing a shell script that would install a software when it is run.

I want to displaying Installing <so and so>........ when it is actually installing it.

I want it to be dynamic, in the sense, I want the dots after installing grow and drop.

Is there a way we can do it.

Thanks,

Sundeep.

A common way to do that is to print your lines with carriage returns instead of line feeds; on many terminals, this causes the cursor to return to the left margin without moving to a new line, so when text is replaced with new text in the same spot, you get something which resembles an animation.
