I ran Trace against a hard disk and recovered 1,174,551 URLs, 94,573 redirections and 4275 "other." As Trace offers no obvious way to save the results, I sought to export them. This caused the program to go into "waiting" (hourglass) mode for more than 12 hours. Of course, I had to kill the process to regain control and lost the analysis. I ran it again, sought to export again, and after 16 hours, it's still exporting to oblivion.

I've got 3 GB of RAM in the system.

Anything I can do to save this work or successfully export the results when I kill the process tomorrow? Might three times be a charm with a little help? Thanks.

I still have to look into this, but would recommend checking the output file for how many lines were actually exported up to that point.

Craig,

I had a similar experience with Trace 3.1 just the other day. I finally got it to set up two XLS files. Now one thing I should say is that my URLs were only 110,000 so it isn't necessarily a good comparison. Nevertheless when it exported it asked me if I wanted to set it up a txt file I responded no. next it asked me if I wanted to save to an XLS file and when I replied in the affirmative it asked me about want to make it into two XL as files, with the first one being about 65,000 lines. I assume that was part of the Excell program trying to keep my list in limits.

As I say, that was a few days ago I am currently trying to repeat that experience and I can't get past the export command. Trace does a beautiful job but as you say it is very difficult to capture and use the results.

Al

There is no way you could create an XLS file with X-Ways Trace. Unfortunately I don't know why it would hang when using the Export command, sorry.

The reason: I suppose you use Excel 2003 or earlier!
