" note, the line above doesn’t use the –nonewline switch, so new further content can be written to that line in the console. i’ve used this powershell snippet for a simple sleep timer with a visual countdown, when i didn’t want to use the default progress indicator (the write-progress cmdlet). posted by andy parkhill at 11:03 0 comments email this blogthis!
