How to write progress bars with PowerShell 

Haha, brilliant!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad to hear it!

Fantastic! Glad you found a use for this!

My pleasure!

Really glad it was helpful :)

Agreed. Had to look it up myself and currently there doesn't seem to be any easy way to do this yet. Hopefully there will be eventually, but I suspect that this is such a niche usecase that it will not be prioritized by Microsoft

Thanks alot!

If it's one big file then write-progress can't really help you. But if it's a lot of files then you can start by getting the full list of files and then throw that into a foreach loop which then writes progress AND copies the files. Consider this example: $AllFiles = Get-ChildItem C:\test1 -Recurse $progress = 1 foreach ($SingelFile in $AllFiles) { Write-Progress -Activity "Copying files" -Status "Working on $($SingelFile)" -PercentComplete ($progress/$AllFiles.count*100) Copy-Item -Path $SingelFile.FullName -Destination "c:\test2\$($SingelFile.FullName.substring(9))" $Progress++ }

The destination part might be a little obscure there but basically what it does is set the destination to c:\test2\ followed by whatever the path was before (minus the first 9 characters, in this case c:\test1\)

@@PetterTech thanks for quick help. That make scene 😉.
