Hi!
I'm writing a program that will handle huge textfiles and in order to see the progress I wrote this bit of code that prints the procentage of the file that has been delt with and on witch line in the text the program is on.
But it's not working out the way I was expecting.
It works fine on small text-files, but when I run it on files that are 2-3 Gb the procentage-counter counts from -0% to aprox. -115% and then stops while the part that prints the line the program is on keeps running...

Anyone got any ideas?

This might have been up to discussion earlier, if so please point me in the right direction.

Regards k2
------------------- 
$fs = (-s "@ARGV" );
$rowcount=0;

while () {


    Run whatever loop you want...


if  ($rowcount % 1000 == 0 ) {
        print "\r", int((tell INDATA) /$fs*100), "% done = $rowcount r
+ows ";}
    $rowcount++;
}
