How to display a counter in shell script?
Hi,
I am writing a script which processes large number of files in a directory. I wanto display a counter which increment after processing each file. I am processing each file in a for loop. If I echo a variable with its value increasing with each file, I will get around 5000 lines as output. Instead I wish to display a count - like a digital clock- which increases at the same position and line.
Can anyone help with any command to achieve this?
Thanks
Jaise

shtool-version
SHTOOL-VERSION.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-VERSION.TMP(1)
NAME
shtool-version - GNU shtool maintain version information file
SYNOPSIS
shtool version [-l|--language lang] [-n|--name name] [-p|--prefix prefix] [-s|--set version] [-e|--edit] [-i|--increase knob] [-d|--display
type] file
DESCRIPTION
This command displays and maintains version information in file.
The version is always described with a triple <version,revision,level> and is represented by a string which always matches the regular
expression ""[0-9]+.[0-9]+[sabp.][0-9]+"".
The hexadecimal format for a version "v.rtl" is "VVRRTLL" where "VV" and "RR" directly correspond to "v" and "r", "T" encodes the level
type as 9, 2, 1, 0 (representing "s", "p"/".", "b", "a" in this order) and "LL" is either directly corresponding to "l" or set to 99 if
level type is "s".
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-v, --verbose
Print verbose information during processing.
-l, --language lang
Choose format of version file file. lang=""txt"", ANSI C (lang="c"), M4 (lang="m4"), Perl (lang="perl") or Python (lang="python").
Default is "txt".
-n, --name name
Name the program the version is maintained for. Default is "unknown".
-p, --prefix prefix =item -s, --set version
Set the version to version.
-e, --edit
Interactively enter a new version.
-i, --increase knob
When option ``-i'' is used, the current version in file is updated by increasing one element of the version where knob can be one of
the following: ``"v"'' for increasing the version by 1 (and resetting revision and level to 0), ``"r"'' for increasing the revision by
1 (and resetting level to 0) or ``"l"'' for increasing the level by 1.
-d, --display type
Control the display type: ""short"" for a short version display, ""long"" for a longer version display, ""hex"" for a hexadecimal
display of the version and ""libtool"" for a format suitable for use with GNU libtool.
EXAMPLE
# shell script
shtool version -l c -n FooBar -p foobar -s 1.2b3 version.c
# configure.in
V=`shtool version -l c -d long version.c`
echo "Configuring FooBar, Version $V"
HISTORY
The GNU shtool version command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1994 for OSSP eperl. It was later
rewritten from scratch for inclusion into GNU shtool.
