here's something I've been using for quite some time for 'large' files to entertain a user:
nawk -f myAWK.awk myFile
OR
nawk -v twirle="${USER}" -f myAWK.awk myFile
OR
nawk -v twirle='str' -f myAWK.awk myFile
myAWK.awk:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/nawk -f
#
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
function makeTwirleS(twirle, sep, s,twLength,twSlength,i,left,l,r,right,arrN ,arr)
{
s=twirle
twLength=length(twirle)
twSlength=length(twirle) * ((length(twirle) <= 3) ? 5 : 2)
for(right=twLength+1; right<=twSlength; right++)
s=s "."
# left -> right
for(i=1; i+twLength<=twSlength; i++) {
l=r=""
for(left=1; left<=i; left++)
l=(l=="")? "." : l "."
for(right=i+twLength+1; right<=twSlength; right++)
r=(r=="")? "." : r "."
s=s sep l twirle r
}
# reverse the direction - right -> left
arrN=split(s, arr, sep)
for(i=arrN-1; i>1; i--)
s=s sep arr[i]
return s
}
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEGIN {
# Progress bar
PROGRESSdiv=1000
if (!twirle) twirle="*"
# deal with the TWIRLE
twirleS=makeTwirleS(twirle, SUBSEP)
ntwirleA=split(twirleS, twirleA, SUBSEP)
stderr="cat 1>&2"
}
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
!( FNR % PROGRESSdiv) {
printf("\rProgress [%s]-> [%d] lines [%s]", FILENAME, FNR, twirleA[(++_twirle % ntwirleA+1)]) | stderr;
}
#
# here goes the rest of the awk script......

Hello once again:
One thing that seems to be a nice feature is a progress gauge... so I can see how long an operation will take for a task to complete if it is requiring a lot of processing or the file is enormous. I have seen references to gauge operations, but I don't know anything about it or... (1 Reply)
Can anybody suggest you a good script to show progress of a process.
I figured it out some thing like this. But cursor goes to the end of the line and after every loop it goes to the next line.
while true ; do
for i in \| \/ \- \\ \| \/ \- \\
do
echo "\b\b$i \c"
sleep 1
done

Hi friends,

The options which are very helpful to me are the "F" , "W" , "L" stats. How can i get the similar details on Linux servers without using glance?... (2 Replies)

Hi,
I have shell script that I am running under Ubuntu as root.
Is it possible to hide the command window and show the user some sort of progress /random progress bar / or other form of GUI interaction?

igawk
IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...
igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ...
DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
