Hi,

You can try something like this.

 $notpressed = $true
 $string = 'debug in progress:'
 $dots = 100
 $i = 0
 while($notpressed){
     $i++
     if([console]::KeyAvailable)
     {
         $notpressed = $false    
     }    
     else{
         if($i%($dots+1) -eq 1)
         {
             Write-Host $string -NoNewline
             Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500          
         }
         elseif($i%($dots+1) -eq 0)
         {
             Write-Host '.'
             Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500           
         }
         else{
             Write-Host '.' -NoNewline
             Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500           
         }
     }
 }
