Progress Indicator For Robocopy File

Chimaera · 19 Jan 2010 09:20

Hi
Im messing with this atm that i found on the net

@echo off
echo.
echo.
setlocal
set COUNT=0
set MAXCOUNT=1000
set SECONDS=1
:LOOP
title "\\"
call :WAIT
title "||"
call :WAIT
title "//"
call :WAIT
title "--"
call :WAIT
if /i "%COUNT%" equ "%MAXCOUNT%" goto :EXIT
set /a count+=1
echo %COUNT%
goto :LOOP
:WAIT
ping -n %SECONDS% 127.0.0.1 > nul
ping -n %SECONDS% 127.0.0.1 > nul
goto :EOF
:EXIT
title FIN!
endlocal

what im trying to make is a progress indicator for a robocopy in total so as the job starts it will be 0%-100%, or * to ********** etc etc

the above code does a count but its down the page i want it one one line across the page, the twirly bit in the header of the batch really isnt that important
But i want the count to increase relative to the job its doing so it would need to assess how big the job is and tailor itself accordingly

The robo command i use would be like this

ROBOCOPY %_backup_source% %_backup_dest% %_back_what% %_robo_vista_1%

but on different machines the data size would be different so the start and finish values would be different in size so it has to reach 100% for eg when the file finishes.

i wonder if tasklist was the way to go but i couldnt work out what the filters did for window title eg

tasklist Windowtitle eq, ne mywindow name

assuming thats the right way to use it, but can it read the window its called from? and give me the progress indicator i need?

it would be nice to just have a line in the batch that increase as the batch progresses

so
* to ** to *** etc etc

or can i do

set _indicator1=*
set _indicator1=**
set _indicator1=***
set _indicator1=****
set _indicator1=*****

and have some way of swopping down the list as the file progresses

anyway back to looking for an answer

thanks for any pointers

Maybe this will help...

How To Show a Progress Bar While Copying Files?

bluesxman · 20 Jan 2010 00:42

The concept intrigued me, so I came up with the following script. I've not tested it thoroughly and I'm sure it could be optimised in a couple of places, but it seems to work for me.

:: Notes ::

Works based on the number of files to be copied, rather than the space they occupy.

Should also detect if the robocopy process has ended while there are still files to copy.

Calculates progress by repeatedly comparing source to target, so if new files are appearing at source during the copy the bar might backstep; it will also falsely report an abort when the robocopy process exits.

Accuracy suffers a little due to the rounding by the "set /a" command (but not be enough to worry about).

@echo off

set "source=e:\test\source"
set "target=e:\test\target"
set "rc=robocopy.exe"

set "rc.command=%rc% "%source%." "%target%." /s"

set "bar.width=20"
set "bar.char=*"
set "bar.backchar= "
set "bar.size=0"
set "bar.back="
set "bar.del="
set "bar.position=0"
set "loop.delay=5"

set "done=0"
set "total=1"
set "abort="

set "window.title=%rc%_%date%_%time: =0%"

echo:START

REM spawn the robocopy command with a (hopefully) unique window title that we'll need later
start /min "%window.title%" %rc.command%

REM draw the empty bar 
for /l %%a in (1,1,%bar.width%) do (call set "bar.back=%%bar.back%%%bar.backchar%")
call set "bar.del=%%bar.back:%bar.backchar%=%%"
set /p "out=[%bar.back%]%bar.del%" <nul

set /a loop.delay+=1

title Please stand by...

call :loop

echo:

if defined abort (echo:ABORT) ELSE (echo:END)

pause

goto :EOF
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:loop
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

set bar=

REM if all the files have been copied, draw a full bar (in case it didn't get filled
REM on the previous iteration) and exit
if %done% GEQ %total% (
    for /l %%a in (1,1,%bar.width%) do call set "bar=%bar.char%%%bar%%"
    call set /p "out=%%bar%%" <nul
    set abort=
    goto :EOF
)

REM if the robocopy child process wasn't running on the previous iteration and there
REM are still files left uncopied then we assume that robocopy died unexpectedly
if defined abort goto :EOF

REM check for the robocopy child process (using out "unique" window title)
tasklist /fi "imagename eq robocopy.exe" /fi "windowtitle eq %window.title%" /fo csv /nh 2>nul | findstr "." >nul

REM if it's not found, set a flag (it'll be dealt with on the next interation)
if errorlevel 1 set abort=1 & set loop.delay=1

REM run a duplicate robocopy process with the "/L" switch to so we can extract
REM the total number of files and those that have been copied from the output
for /f "usebackq tokens=3,4,5 delims= " %%a in (`%rc.command% /l /njh /nfl /ndl ^| find "Files"`) do (
    set /a total=%%a,remain=%%b,done=%%c
)

REM figure out (roughly) how many files need to be copied to increase the progress
REM bar by one step
set /a bar.step=total / bar.width

REM in case it rounds down to zero...
if %bar.step% EQU 0 set bar.step=1

REM calculate the position using the number of copied files and the step value
set /a bar.position=(done / bar.step)

REM if for some reason the position is greater than the width, fix it
REM (this would occur if the number of files is not much more than
REM the defined bar width)
if %bar.position% GTR %bar.width% set /a bar.position=bar.width

REM draw the bar (we're redrawing the whole thing on each interation)
for /l %%a in (1,1,%bar.position%) do call set "bar=%bar.char%%%bar%%"

set /p "out=%bar%" <nul 

title %done% / %total%

REM delay before interating so that the script doesn't thrash the system
ping 127.1 -n %loop.delay% -w 1000 >nul

goto :loop

Been trying to get this to work

set "rc=robocopy.exe" << what is this one for plz, is it just for shortnameing the file? or is it like this because you call it with a child

set "rc.command=%rc% "%source%." "%target%." /s" << ive been trying to add my origanal command to here
eg ROBOCOPY %source% %target% %_back_what% %_robo_vista_1% mainly the last bit as i have parameters and exemptions that i need
eg: SET _robo_vista_1=/COPY:DAT /S /B /XJD /XJF /R:0 /W:0 /XA:SH /NJH /NJS /XF %_exc_vista_files% %_exc_prog_files% /XD %target% %_exc_vista_folder% %_exc_prog_folder% %_exc_special_folder%

set "window.title=%rc%_%date%_%time: =0%" <<<this is just for the child window title yes?

With a bit of messing on win7 ive managed to get the windows active but the robocopy window ignores all my exemptions and attributes completely so i guess the set "rc.command=%rc% line isnt working right with my params i even tried adding the /COPY:DAT /S /B /XJ etc etc line instead of the /s part but it ignored that as well.

and the main window with the
START
[ ]

just stays like that with the cursor flashing near it

with this
"%target%." why does it have a full stop at the end of it?, is it needed elsewhere in the file?

Im asuming this will only work with the process in a child window ?

thanks for taking a look

Try this:

SET _robo_vista_1=/COPY:DAT /S /B /XJD /XJF /R:0 /W:0 /XA:SH /NJH /XF %_exc_vista_files% %_exc_prog_files% /XD %target% %_exc_vista_folder% %_exc_prog_folder% %_exc_special_folder%
set "rc.command=%rc% "%source%." "%target%." "%_back_what%" %_robo_vista_1%"

NB -- I've removed the "/NJS" switch and you must leave it off as "%rc.command%" is reused to check the current status and the job summary information is essential for that to work -- most probably this is why your status bar didn't work.

set "window.title=%rc%_%date%_%time: =0%" <<<this is just for the child window title yes?

Yes, so that we can detect if the child process has exited prematurely.

"%target%." why does it have a full stop at the end of it?

See here.

Correct. CMD doesn't lend itself well to having background processes running in the same window, and "robocopy" must be a background process for the effect you're seeking.

Ok now we are getting somewhere

couple of unusual things that occured i thought i would mention

The administrator window {parent} got to 1 short of the end like this

START
[******************* ]

and on the title it says 4441 / 4474 so 33 short and it stayed open, the child closed at the end of the robo run.

should it have finished completly? , i remember you mentioned the accuracy

and for some odd reason i got two copys of the backup, one which i couldnt open which gave drive unavailable errors and the other one worked as normal.
I guess the only one i need is the normal one but which is which who knows lol
Weird the odd one i cant delete off the desktop, ill have to try safe mode

i understand better about the full stop now, so really i should add the full stop to all my %????% params y?

outstanding bit of work m8 :clap: :clap:

I'm going to guess that this is due to files appearing at the source location (see the "notes" section in my original post.)

Here's a mod that might help (two areas of code to hack):

set "done=0"
set "total=1"
set "get.total=1"
set "abort="

REM run a duplicate robocopy process with the "/L" switch to so we can extract
REM the total number of files and those that have been copied from the output
for /f "usebackq tokens=3,4,5 delims= " %%a in (`%rc.command% /l /njh /nfl /ndl ^| find "Files"`) do (
    if defined get.total (set /a total=%%a&set get.total=)
    set /a remain=%%b,done=%%c
)

and for some odd reason i got two copys of the backup, one which i couldnt open which gave drive unavailable errors and the other one worked as normal.
I guess the only one i need is the normal one but which is which who knows lol
Weird the odd one i cant delete off the desktop, ill have to try safe mode

Don't know what to tell you on that one.

so really i should add the full stop to all my %????% params

For source and target, yeah.

bluesxman · 21 Jan 2010 21:24

I've make a few tweaks:

Now defaults to filling the screen width with the bar (but you can override if you want to).

If there aren't very many files, it will now fill the bar by a more appropriate amount (rather than 1 blob per file)

If 2 blobs per file is too many (bar would fill too early), and 1 blob is too few (bar wouldn't fill fast enough) it'll override the calculated (or forced) bar width to match the number of files, so that 1 blob per file is correct.

I've reworked it slightly so that the total number of files is only calculated once (same idea as the mods I posted earlier, but renders them irrelevant).

Changed the characters used to draw the bar, for no good reason other than aesthetics.

Should behave if there aren't actually any files to copy.

Ive worked out what the folder appears from it first appears when you try and delete the file after the test

"Test" becomes "Test." for some strange reason and its like the folder dosent exist like an echo after deleting and it takes a lot of messing about to get rid off it, now i dont know if this is a windows 7 issue or not?

ill try the new batch in a bit when i get time and let you know what happens

usually at the end of the batch i run

ATTRIB /S /D -r -a -s -h "%target%."
ATTRIB /S /D -r -a -s -h "%target%.\*.*"

problem is where do i put this on the batch so its the last thing before closing the file so it does the robocopy the sets the attribs so all the files are workable as their is hidden and all sorts of stuff involved.
Does it need to be in the loop section or somewhere else?

Edit
just ran the file and i get this

START
[Divide by zero error.························································]
Divide by zero error.
Divide by zero error.
Divide by zero error.
Divide by zero error.
Divide by zero error.
Divide by zero error.
Divide by zero error.
Divide by zero error.

Managed to capture a bit of the output

Not quite sure whats happening now, i see this straight away and the title of the parent window reads
Administrator : 0 / -1

no matter what the child window is doing

START
[■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■]

Press any key to continue . . .

The child window seems to be running as normal

any thoughts

Yes, I'll wager you are still including /NJS in your robocopy command. See comments regarding this in post #6.

Chimaera · 23 Jan 2010 00:00

As always ur the man lol

with the messing about copying bits from my script to yours i had copied the /NJS again thx again

now this time
Title gets to 2689 / 2714
and the bar look pretty much full

START
[■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■]

but it just stops there.. it never gets to show END
so im guessing it never gets to this statement somehow

if defined abort (echo:ABORT) ELSE (echo:END)

i tried my attrib section above and below the loop section but it dosent perform it so the files are still hidden possible because the END dosent happen

goto :loop
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:attrib
::
ATTRIB /S /D -r -a -s -h %target%
ATTRIB /S /D -r -a -s -h %target%\*.*

I've tested it with various numbers of files (0, 1, 5, 40, 70, 2000 and 33,000) and it seems to work fine (though this was static test data).

Perhaps files at the source location are changing or are locked for reading by some other process and that is causing a discrepancy so that the value for %total% never gets reached. Given that it looks like you're trying to copy the whole of C: (with some exceptions) I'm not particularly surprised about this.

However, it should at least "ABORT" once it detects that the child process has disappeared.

Does the child process actually close when it's done?

What happens if you close the child process manually, part way through the copy?

Speculating that the tasklist command under Vista/Win7 behaves in a different manner to WinXP, perhaps this hack will make a difference:

tasklist /fi "imagename eq robocopy.exe" /fi "windowtitle eq %window.title%" /fo csv /nh 2>nul | find /i "robocopy.exe" >nul

As for your "ATTRIB" commands, you'd need to place them here:

if defined abort (echo:ABORT) ELSE (echo:END)

ATTRIB /S /D  -r -a -s -h %target%
ATTRIB /S /D  -r -a -s -h %target%\*.*

pause

goto :EOF

But if you're not getting an "END" or "ABORT" message they'll never get run.

That seems to have done the job m8

It stopped with a Abort
2703 / 2710
i guess the missing files are the running windows processes, even though robocopy discounts them, it still counts them causing the variable

START
[■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■]
ABORT
Press any key to continue . . .

I keep forgetting win7 is a tad different, than xp

Thanks for joining in and helping out m8

Finally got round to doing some work with this and got a fair way but i have run into a few questions

Problem appears to be im running 3 versions of this one under another

for eg:

Main Backup
Outlook Backup
Firefox Backup

but the first section works properly and follows the exemptions as it supposed to, but the second 2 section just ignore the presets that i have set for it/
i have tried moving stuff around just in case it needs it later in the file for eg and ive tried diff permutations.

i start each section with the robo line so it dosent confuse the others for eg

SET "rc.command=%rc% "%source%." "%target%." "%_back_what%" %_robo_vista_1%"

rest of stuff to
goto :loop
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

SET "rc.command=%rc% "%source%." "%target%." "%_back_outlook%" %_robo_outlook_1%"

and same again for the last one.

I wondered if its remembering some of the previous settings from doing the loops before and its confusing it

the progress line shows each time and the robocopy window is there its just not picking up files

is there a way of clearing settings out of memory so i can test?

Can't easily troubleshoot a script I can't see. Can you post it? Just the script -- don't need to see the output at this time.

Chimaera · 24 Mar 2010 08:55

Ive bolded the stuff ive changed and the first one uses

set _back_what=*.*

and the second uses

SET _back_outlook=*.pst *.email *.wab *.imapmbox *.sdm *.sig *.dbx *.eml *.maildb *.mailhost *.boe *.box *.dic *.emlx *.mai *.mbg *.mbox *.mbs *.mbx *.toc *.fol nndbase.* *.msf *.msg *.nws *.oab *.obi *.oft *.ost *.pab *.pmi *.pmm *.vfb *.iaf *.nk2

No offense but that's a right old mess. You ought to be doing something along these lines (based on my original rather than your version):

REM make the bar as wide as possible

to bluesxman

thanx so much.... but ur script 200MB over file not check progress bar...
how solve it?

pls reply me....

bluesxman · 31 May 2010 11:09

Sorry but I don't understand the question.

pnorling · 06 Sep 2010 09:28

bluesxman: Thanks for your script it is exactly what I've been looking for...but....when I run the script the bar (bar.width=50) looks OK but once the script starts to redraw the bar the bar.char is written behind the bar it self like this:

START SiteComputer 1
[··················································]*****************************************************************************************************************************

and it just continues to expand outside the bar.width and wraps to the next row until it's done with the copy....

I've also noticed that if the copy already exists (100% done) the bar.chars will be equal to the bar.width (50) but it will still be printed as

START SiteComputer 1
[··················································]**************************************************
END

I've done some adaptations to the script but that should not have anything to do with the messed up printout since I get the same "error" using your original script

Any ideas why?

Chimaera · 08 Sep 2010 09:49

Mine has changed as well from the original that i had, i managed to get mine working again by adding an extra character which the forum seems to be blocking, i think when the forum changed it stops the character which is a square with little numbers
inside it, i dont know what the char is actually called

you need to add one after the red character and one either side of the second one

call set "bar.del=%%bar.back:%bar.backchar%=%%"

And

for /l %%a in (1,1,%bar.position%) do call set "bar=%bar.char%%%bar%%"

It seems to need the extra characters to work right

Hope this works for you

@Simon Can you have a look at why the forum is blocking the special Character please as i pasted it in the post but as soon as i submitted it it wiped it from the text

bluesxman · 08 Sep 2010 10:44

Ah yes, I think the new version of the forum is blocking the "backspace" character than is used heavily.

pnorling · 08 Sep 2010 10:44

Thanks Chimaera it got better but not perfect

I still get the faulty position of the output

START SiteComputer 1
[--------------------------------------------------]***************

And when the rc is running the amount of "*" is incorrectly printed. The rc contains of ~3500 files, when almost all files have been copied the amount of written "*" was only 15 (bar.width=50). Once the copy was done the script did a M$-jump and printed out the remaining 35 "*"

START SiteComputer 1

Chimaera · 09 Sep 2010 20:02

mine works fine here now Ive added the extra character

i did notice however that it dosen't work when i define the length of the progress bar for some reason.

have you tried define the window instead and let the bar run as normal?

And bear in mind as bluesxman says earlier in the thread this is not an exact science due to windows files it cannot access etc so it may not report correctly

hi guys.. need some help with this script ...

Everything works fine .. adapted the script to my stuff but have one tiny tiny problem ..

As mention above the bar is drawn like this [---------------------------]*******************

And for the love of god everyone is talking about the missing character ... but i do not understand it what backspace character are u talking about ... "square with small numbers in it ?" Ithere isn't that character on the ascii table ...

Can anyone upload de bat file somewhere so i can download it and see ...

Thanks in advance !

redeemer666 · 11 Apr 2018 13:58

Helo guys.

Old post but can you please explain how to put the backspace character inside the script? Thanks

You probably noticed that the post above yours has the same problem. This is because at some point, the forum software removed the backspace characters.

Originally, the code above had an actual backspace character (ASCII value 8) at the end of one of the set lines (I'm not sure which one, and I don't care since there are better ways to get a backspace character that I'm about to mention). If you absolutely insist on setting a backspace character this way, you can open a text editor that's more advanced than regular Notepad (I'm using Notepad++ but Ultraedit should work as well), hold ALT, and press 008 on the keypad. Since this method is clearly not useful for posting code online, I recommend not doing this.

A better way to generate a backspace character is to take advantage of the prompt command.

for /F %%A in ('echo prompt $H ^| cmd') do set "BS=%%A"

The $H option of prompt generates a backspace, which can then be piped to a new instance of cmd.exe and stored in the variable %BS%.
