[Tutor] Problems with Gauge Bar.

[Olrik Lenstra]

I'm probably asking for a lot here. But I don't think I understand this
fully.

This is the part I tried to get the Bar in. I actually got it in GUI wise.

Ok. So lets see if I got this right. In the onScan you define self.myfile to
open 'foo.txt' One thing I don't get here is what is foo.txt used for?
Then you set the count to 0
Then you set the timer to 0.01 with the event processLine?

then in the processLine you add 1 to the count with every line that is read?

I'll try to implement that loop  :)

Thanks for the help!
