# Set current workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = "c:/data"

# Get a list of shapefiles in folder
fcs = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()

# Find the total count of shapefiles in list

# Set the progressor
arcpy.SetProgressor("step", "Copying shapefiles to geodatabase...",
                    0, fc_count, 1)

# Create a file gdb to contain new feature classes
arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(arcpy.env.workspace, "fgdb.gdb")

# For each shapefile, copy to a file geodatabase
for shp in fcs:
    # Trim the '.shp' extension
    fc = os.path.splitext(shp)[0]

    # Update the progressor label for current shapefile
