is there an easy way to add a progress bar/counter to an existing script

[metulburr]

You dont need script() or task() functions at all. It was just an illustration of how to use it. Script being your entire program, and task being any function within your program that does something as the purpose of the program's existance

Put progress(0) in the beginning of your script, and progress(100) at the end of it. Then divide 100 by your programs' number of tasks and put progress(THAT_NUM) after task 1, program(THAT_NUM*2) after task 2, program(THAT_NUM*3) after task 3, etc.

    progress(0,'running task 1')
    task()
    progress(20,'running task 2')
    task()
    progress(40,'running task 3')
    task()
    progress(60,'running task 4')
    task()
    progress(80,'running task 5')
    task()
    progress(100, '   complete   ')

In this case there are 5 tasks throughout the entire program progressing the bar 20% each time. 100/5=20 100/number of tasks = percentage to increase after each task
