Showing that something is deleteing

Hi there,

I have a scritp that is clearing out old files from some directories, rather than echoing the name of the file when it gets deleted i want to echo a ". " I have tried to just echo it after the deletion but it lists like this

I want to show it like this
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I just want to show it is deleting something and not got stuck.

Any ideas? i'm sure there are some.

Cheers and Beers,
