I would like to add a progress bar to this command line:

find . \( -iname "*.bz" -o -iname "*.zip" -o -iname "*.gz" -o -iname "*.rar" \) -print0 | while read -d '' file; do echo "$file"; lzgrep -a stringtosearch\.anything "$file"; done

The progress file should be calculated on the total of compressed size files (not on the single file).

Of course, it can be a script too.

I would also like to add other progress bars, if possible:

  1. The total number of files processed (example 3 out of 21)
  2. The percentage of progress of the single file

Can anybody help me please?

Here some example of it should look alike (example from here):

tar cf - /folder-with-big-files -P | pv -s $(du -sb /folder-with-big-files | awk '{print $1}') | gzip > big-files.tar.gz

Multiple progress bars (example from here):

pv -cN orig < foo.tar.bz2 | bzcat | pv -cN bzcat | gzip -9 | pv -cN gzip > foo.tar.gz

Thanks,

This is the first time I've ever heard of pv and it's not on any machine I have access to but assuming it needs to know a total at startup and then a number on each iteration of a command, you could do something like this to get a progress bar per file processed:

IFS= readarray -d '' files < <(find . -whatever -print0)
printf '%s\n' "${files[@]}" | pv -s "${#files[@]}" | command

The first line gives you an array of files so you can then use "${#files[@]}" to provide pv it's initial total value (looks like you use -s value for that?) and then do whatever you normally do to get progress as each file is processed.

I don't see any way to tell pv that the pipe it's reading from is NUL-terminated rather than newline-terminated so if your files can have newlines in their names then you'd have to figure out how to solve that problem.

To additionally get progress on a single file you might need something like:

IFS= readarray -d '' files < <(find . -whatever -print0)
printf '%s\n' "${files[@]}" |
    pv -s "${#files[@]}" |
    xargs -n 1 -I {} sh -c 'pv {} | command'

I don't have pv so all of the above is untested so check the syntax, especially since I've never heard of pv :-).

  • Thanks for reply. I will try, but, in this way, I believe I can see only a single file progress at time. Right? pv (pipe viewer) is very common on debian / ubuntu system. http://www.ivarch.com/programs/pv.shtml – Maurs May 22 '20 at 17:29
  • If I understand what `pv` does correctly then you'll get 2 status bars, one from the first call to `pv` thats tracking status across all files as each file is opened and the other from the second call to `pv` that's tracking status within each file as each byte/line/whatever in that file is read. Best thing is for you to try it and see. – Ed Morton May 22 '20 at 17:53

Thanks to Max C., I found a solution for the main question:

find ./ -type f -iname *\.gz -o -iname *\.bz | (tot=0;while read fname; do s=$(stat -c%s "$fname"); if [ !  -z "$s" ] ; then echo "$fname"; tot=$(($tot+$s)); fi; done; echo $tot) | tac  | (read size; xargs -i{} cat "{}" | pv -s $size | lzgrep -a something -)

But this work only for gz and bz files, now I have to develop to use different tool according to extension.

I'm gonna to try the Ed solution too.

Thanks to ED and Max C., here the verision 0.2 This version work with zgrep, but not with lzgrep. :-\

#!/bin/bash
echo -n "collecting dump... "
IFS= readarray -d '' files < <(find . \( -iname "*.bz" -o -iname "*.gz" \) -print0)
echo done
echo "Calculating archives size..."
tot=0
for line in "${files[@]}"; do
    s=$(stat -c\%s "$line")
       if [ !  -z "$s" ]
       then
           tot=$(($tot+$s))
       fi
done

(for line in "${files[@]}"; do
    s=$(stat -c\%s "$line")
       if [ !  -z "$s" ]
       then
           echo "$line"
       fi
done
) | xargs -i{} sh -c 'echo Processing file: "{}" 1>&2 ; cat "{}"' | pv -s $tot | zgrep -a anything -
