More CMD trouble

[Nikephoros1]

I have built a batch file, to extract some cabinet files, to differnt locations on a computer. I was wondering how i could create a progress bar, to show the percent complete. Therefore allowing a more user friendly interface. Also i want to create a menu, with two options. One option runs one batch file and the other option runs another batch file. I used to be able to do menus quite well, but my minds just gone blank.
Cheers.

I can't think of any way you can show a progress bar on a console screen

Thats the menu sorted, what i meant by a progress bar was, basicly the percentage completed is echoed to the screen. So it shows you how far you've got.

The progress thing .. is as old as dos
you can't do it with dos ... but some extractors ... will show a progress indicator if you use the verbose switch
