Using the Progress Bar Script

Description

This script provides a simple progress bar TUI for the terminal platform. It allows you to visualize the progress of a task being executed in your shell script.

Usage

1. Copy Functions:

   • Copy the delay and progress functions directly into your shell script.

2. Invoke progress Function:

   • Call the progress function within your script to display the progress bar.

Steps

1. Copy Functions:

   • Copy the delay and progress functions from the script provided into your own shell script. These functions handle the delay and printing of the progress bar.

2. Invoke progress Function:

   • Within your script, call the progress function whenever you want to display the progress bar.
   • Pass two parameters to the progress function:
     • PARAM_PROGRESS: The progress percentage (0-100) of the task.
     • PARAM_STATUS: Optional. A status message to display alongside the progress bar.

   # Example usage:
   progress 25 "Processing data..."  # Displays a 25% progress bar with the status "Processing data..."
   

Example

#!/bin/bash

# Copy the delay and progress functions here

# Your script logic here
# Invoke the progress function to display the progress bar as your script progresses
# Example:
progress 25 "Processing data..."  # Display a 25% progress bar with the status "Processing data..."

This will visually represent the progress of your script's execution in the terminal. Adjust the progress function calls according to the progress of your task.
