Hello,
You have the progession bar, i.e.
progressionbar('Please wait while loading data');
which is incorrectly named as it cannot show any progression (unlike
waitbar()) but only a kind of bar which oscillates, showing that something is
happening. This one will keep oscillating in an asynchronous way (in the
background) until you delete it.
However, even if Scilab would be able to launch threads at the user level,
updating a bar showing progression would need to be hardcoded in xls_read,
because you have to know the current position you are reading w.r.t. the
overall size ot the data stream.
The only case where something could be done is if your data is organized in
many sheets within the xls file. In that case you could iterate on sheets and
update a waitbar().

Hi
Is there a periodic timer like the Matlab timer function ? The parallel run
function does not seem to exist in the 2023.1.0 release , as I thought I may be
able to use that instead.
I am reading a large excel spreadsheet and it would be good to implement a
progress bar . So, a periodic timer that runs in the background could be used
to check a flag finish flag . If the finish flag is false increment the
progress and fire the timer off again.
Kind Regards
Greg
