Write-Progress

  • Reference
Module:
Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility

Displays a progress bar within a PowerShell command window.

Syntax

Write-Progress
     [-Activity] <String>
     [[-Status] <String>]
     [[-Id] <Int32>]
     [-PercentComplete <Int32>]
     [-SecondsRemaining <Int32>]
     [-CurrentOperation <String>]
     [-ParentId <Int32>]
     [-Completed]
     [-SourceId <Int32>]
     [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Write-Progress cmdlet displays a progress bar in a PowerShell command window that depicts the status of a running command or script. You can select the indicators that the bar reflects and the text that appears above and below the progress bar.

PowerShell 7.2 added the $PSStyle automatic variable that is used to control how PowerShell displays certain information using ANSI escape sequences. The $PSStyle.Progress member allows you to control progress view bar rendering.

  • $PSStyle.Progress.Style - An ANSI string setting the rendering style.
  • $PSStyle.Progress.MaxWidth - Sets the max width of the view. Set to 0 for console width. Defaults to 120
  • $PSStyle.Progress.View - An enum with values, Minimal and Classic. Classic is the existing rendering with no changes. Minimal is a single line minimal rendering. Minimal is the default.

Note

If the host doesn't support Virtual Terminal, $PSStyle.Progress.View is automatically set to Classic.

Examples

Example 1: Display the progress of a For loop

for ($i = 1; $i -le 100; $i++ ) {
    Write-Progress -Activity "Search in Progress" -Status "$i% Complete:" -PercentComplete $i
    Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 250
}

This command displays the progress of a For loop that counts from 1 to 100.

The Write-Progress cmdlet includes a status bar heading Activity, a status line, and the variable $i (the counter in the For loop), which indicates the relative completeness of the task.

Example 2: Display the progress of nested For loops

$PSStyle.Progress.View = 'Classic'

for($I = 0; $I -lt 10; $I++ ) {
    $OuterLoopProgressParameters = @{
        Activity         = 'Updating'
        Status           = 'Progress->'
        PercentComplete  = $I * 10
        CurrentOperation = 'OuterLoop'
    }
    Write-Progress @OuterLoopProgressParameters
    for($j = 1; $j -lt 101; $j++ ) {
        $InnerLoopProgressParameters = @{
            ID               = 1
            Activity         = 'Updating'
            Status           = 'Progress'
            PercentComplete  = $j
            CurrentOperation = 'InnerLoop'
        }
        Write-Progress @InnerLoopProgressParameters
        Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25
    }
}

Updating
Progress ->
 [ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]
OuterLoop
Updating
Progress
 [oooooooooooooooooo                                                   ]
InnerLoop

This example sets the progress view to Classic and then displays the progress of two nested for loops, each represented by a progress bar.

The Write-Progress command for the second progress bar includes the Id parameter that distinguishes it from the first progress bar.

Without the Id parameter, the progress bars would be superimposed on each other instead of being displayed one below the other.

Example 3: Display the progress while searching for a string

# Use Get-WinEvent to get the events in the System log and store them in the $Events variable.
$Events = Get-WinEvent -LogName system
# Pipe the events to the ForEach-Object cmdlet.
$Events | ForEach-Object -Begin {
    # In the Begin block, use Clear-Host to clear the screen.
    Clear-Host
    # Set the $i counter variable to zero.
    $i = 0
    # Set the $out variable to a empty string.
    $out = ""
} -Process {
    # In the Process script block search the message property of each incoming object for "bios".
    if($_.message -like "*bios*")
    {
        # Append the matching message to the out variable.
        $out=$out + $_.Message
    }
    # Increment the $i counter variable which is used to create the progress bar.
    $i = $i+1
    # Determine the completion percentage
    $Completed = ($i/$Events.count*100)
    # Use Write-Progress to output a progress bar.
    # The Activity and Status parameters create the first and second lines of the progress bar
    # heading, respectively.
    Write-Progress -Activity "Searching Events" -Status "Progress:" -PercentComplete $Completed
} -End {
    # Display the matching messages using the out variable.
    $out
}

This command displays the progress of a command to find the string "bios" in the System event log.

The PercentComplete parameter value is calculated by dividing the number of events that have been processed $I by the total number of events retrieved $Events.count and then multiplying that result by 100.

Example 4: Display progress for each level of a nested process

$PSStyle.Progress.View = 'Classic'

foreach ( $i in 1..10 ) {
  Write-Progress -Id 0 "Step $i"
  foreach ( $j in 1..10 ) {
    Write-Progress -Id 1 -ParentId 0 "Step $i - Substep $j"
    foreach ( $k in 1..10 ) {
      Write-Progress -Id 2  -ParentId 1 "Step $i - Substep $j - iteration $k"
      Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 150
    }
  }
}

Step 1
     Processing
    Step 1 - Substep 2
         Processing
        Step 1 - Substep 2 - Iteration 3
             Processing

In this example you can use the ParentId parameter to have indented output to show parent/child relationships in the progress of each step.

Parameters

-Activity

Specifies the first line of text in the heading above the status bar. This text describes the activity whose progress is being reported.

Type:String
Position:0
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
-Id

Specifies an ID that distinguishes each progress bar from the others. Use this parameter when you are creating more than one progress bar in a single command.

Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
-SecondsRemaining

Specifies the projected number of seconds remaining until the activity is completed. Use the value -1 if the number of seconds remaining is unknown or not applicable.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
-SourceId

Specifies the source of the record. You can use this in place of Id but cannot be used with other parameters like ParentId.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
-Status

Specifies the second line of text in the heading above the status bar. This text describes current state of the activity.

Accept wildcard characters:False

Inputs

None

You cannot pipe input to this cmdlet.

Outputs

None

Write-Progress does not generate any output.

Notes

If the progress bar does not appear, check the value of the $ProgressPreference variable. If the value is set to SilentlyContinue, the progress bar is not displayed. For more information about PowerShell preferences, see about_Preference_Variables.

The parameters of the cmdlet correspond to the properties of the System.Management.Automation.ProgressRecord class. For more information, see ProgressRecord Class.
