How can I display the number of records processed using a thermometer

Scripters,

I have a script that reads a folder (and all of its sub-folders) of HTML files and deletes one HTML line in each file. Currently I have about 180 files to process. It works great except when it runs I don't know anything about how many records have been processed and how long it will take to finish the job. If possible I would like to display a message box that shows the total number of files that will be processed and the current number of files that have been processed (EX.: 15 files out of 180 have been processed). It would be great if I could also display a horizontal "thermometer" that visually shows the current number of files that have been processed.

My questions are:
1. Is there a quick easy way to get the total number of files found in a folder and all of its sub-folders? This would be for initially displaying the total number of records (files) needed to be processed.

2. Is there some Applescript code that shows how to build/display a horizontal "number of records processed" thermometer?

Thanks.

Mark
