Hi,

Thanks,

There's no real way to display progress for this.  You could display something like which line number it is on, but to display something like a percent complete, you need to know what the end point is, and you don't know that until you've read in the entire file, so it's a chicken and the egg problem.  Here's an example of displaying the line number.

Import-CSV file.csv | % -begin {$i=0} -process { Write-Progress -activity "Importing file" -currentOperation "Reading line $i" -PercentComplete -1; $i++ }
