Monitor Output

[Arokan13]

Hey!

I tried to integrate the output of progress to conky. It works with progress -w, but the stats are pretty imprecise.
The stats of progress -m on the other hand are way better, but that won't work with conky, so I tried to pipe it to a txt file and let conky read that.

Now the problem is, that the output of progress -M is facilitated with a lot of gibberish, probably in order to get the format right for monitoring it in the terminal.

Now I've tried to tinker a little but there's no way to get a clear, readable output of progress -M, even for awk-magicians.
An option for that would be nice.

Do you guys have any idea how to go about that?
