Hello,

Since it does a bit time to complete..
I want to add a progress line like
####(rotating line)

I have written a script for doing this progress line..as below

Quote:
while :
do
TCOUNT=`expr $TCOUNT + 1`
main1=`expr $main1 + 1`
var=`expr $main1 % 4`
# echo var = $var
if test $var -eq 0
then
echo -n "#"

fi

case $TCOUNT in
"1") echo -n -e '-'"\b"
sleep $INTERVAL
;;
"2") echo -n -e '\\'"\b"
sleep $INTERVAL
;;
"3") echo -n -e "|""\b"
sleep $INTERVAL
;;
"4") echo -n -e "/""\b"
sleep $INTERVAL
;;
*) TCOUNT="0";;
esac
done
}
Now i need to incorporate this with my text searching and replacing...
