OPS435 Lab 5 - Bash
Revision as of 12:32, 22 August 2017 by Andrew (talk | contribs) (Andrew moved page OPS435 Lab 5 to OPS435 Lab 5 - Bash)
Write a bash script that will show a working progress bar on the command-line.
The bar should fill up from empty to 100% in 5 seconds. 100% is 60 = signs.
For example it could look like this:
******************************______________________________ (50%)
The drawing of the bar should be done in at least one function. Hint: you can use the echo command with a special character to move the cursor back. Also go back to OPS435_Lecture_3 to get a reminder about arithmetic in bash.
But you may use other characters that you think may look better.
