Hello again out there. Is there anyway to get perl to do a counter so it counts in the command shell how many % that is done? I have a script that runs a check on a database, its just 1 command and it spits out some information. Can i parse this information from when its printing out this information, and insted capture some variabels and make it count like 0 % ready, 25 % ready or similar? its hard since its just 1 command and that spits out all the infomation if the database is at good health, but the check can take a really long time for some databses and a very short time for not so big databases. But the out put is always the same for the databses unless there is an error in them.

Anyone got a clue on how to make it count for each line or something? Thanks for any info or similar scripting techniqes. //Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
