I have a little Perl script (On Windows) that checks some files for me as an aid to my day-to-day business. At the moment it prints out something like…
0% 25% 50% 75% Complete But I can remember scripts I’ve used in the past that didn’t print progress on a line-by-line basis, but which updated the output on the display, presumably by moving the cursor back and over-printing what was there.
