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.
