For those who care, I managed to come up with something more efficient. This code will also output even if there is no text:
Code:
a=${#text1};b=${#text2};echo $((a*b?(a>b?100*a/b:100*b/a):0))

NAME
dbar - ASCII progresbar SYNOPSIS
echo <percentage> | dbar [options] <indicator text> DESCRIPTION
dbar lets you define static 0% and 100% marks or you can define these marks dynamically at runtime. Static and dynamic marks can be mixed, in this case the value specified at runtime will have a higher priority. You can specify ranges of numbers, negative, positive or ranges with a negative min value and positive max value. All numbers are treated as double precision floating point, i.e. the input is NOT limited to integers. OPTIONS
-l Label to be prepended to the bar (default: "" ). -nonl no new line, don't put ' ' at the end of the bar (default: do print " ") -max Value to be considered 100% (default: 100). -min Value to be considered 0% (default: 0). -s Symbol represeting the percentage value in the meter (default: "="). -w Number of charcaters to be considered 100% in the meter (default: 25) EXAMPLES
Static 100% mark or single value input: echo 25 | dbar -max 100 -l text Output: text 25% [====== ] If your 100% mark changes dynamically or 2-values input: echo "50 150" | dbar | | | |__ max value | |__ value to display Output: 33% [======== ] If your value range is not between [0, maxval] or 3-values input: echo "50 -25 150" | dbar | | | | | |__ max value 100% mark | | | |_____ min value 0% mark | |________ value to display Output: 43% [=========== ] Multiple runs: for i in 2 20 50 75 80; do echo $i; sleep 1; done | dbar | dzen2 Output: Find out yourself.
