Message during big file load in R

Is there any ways to print message during big file load or time consuming processing and calculations in R? if it will be with some countdown timer it will be also great. Thank's for suggestions.

Look at the functions txtProgressBar, winProgressBar (windows only), and tkProgressBar (tcltk package). These can be used to show a progress bar to indicate how far along in a long process you are. Some of them have room for a label that you could use to give a more specific message.

There are a few functions that will use these (the plyr package), otherwise you need to code the updates yourself, but this is pretty simple if you are using a loop or one of the *apply functions.
