How to get status for cracking process to use in other programs?

[honglonglong]

Hi,

I recently use hashcat as part of my project, in which I do cracking on same hash file with different rules.

I notice in the output theres a row called "Progress" indicating the total attempts in this cracking. I am wondering how could I obtain this number from hashcat so that I could directly dump it into my other program? Though I could use regular expression to extract it from standard output but it seems very complicated.

I see both in hashcat-lite and plus support restore file where we could read status from, are there any similar function in hashcat?

Thanks!
