Simple Counter not possible?

[dirkullri...@gmx.de]

I want to create a simple bash-script with yad as a counter:

if a button is pressed, the number in a textfield (or similar) shall increment by 1(from zero).

but it shall only use  1 yad-window at all, which is not built new at any time i click the button.

no matter what i try - with files, file-descriptors, chatGPT -

i am not able to implement this! there must be a solution, pls help!

greetings

#!/bin/bash
while true; do
if [ $1 ]
then
    date1=`date +%s`+$1;
else
    date1=`date +%s`;
fi
while true; do
echo "#$(date -u --date @$((`date +%s` - $date1)) +%M:%S) minutes"
sleep 1
done
done | yad --pulsate --progress --window-icon="" --image="" --hide \
--on-top --width=300 --height=100 --center --fixed --title="Sample" --text=$"Simple Counter"
--button=gtk-cancel  
 fi
  fi

your script is nice, but - not what i wanted.

i don't need a timed counter, just a counter which increments a value in a textfield by pressing a button.

but, thx anyway xD

#!/bin/bash

# our counter
count=0

# function that increments and updates field 1
increment() {
    count=$((count + 1))
    echo "1:$count"
}

# function that resets counter and updates field 1
reset() {
    count=0
    echo "1:$count"
}

# export functions and variable so yad can call them
export -f increment
export -f reset
export count

# run yad form with an increment button, reset button, and a text field
yad --form --title="Counter" \
    --field="Value:":RO "$count" \
    --field="Increment":fbtn 'bash -c increment' \
    --field="Reset":fbtn 'bash -c reset' \
    --button="Close:0"
