For me personally, I am only using it to extract email addresses out of large text fields that I have.

Comparing your program to others, speed was the advantage and is still very important.

When you get a test version, send it my way and I'll give it a spin.

Thanks!

If you need me to test it, you can send it to me on PM.  I will pay once it is confirmed to work as I would like to have it ASAP.

Other than knowing what they are, I do not know anything about regular expressions so I'll avoid pasting something that I find online as I"m sure you will be able to find a better solution faster than me.

But yes, disabling the preview is a must.  Even with a smaller file more time is spent populating the preview than actually getting the results.

Thank you!

The file contains 119m rows of data at 2.6GB txt

It stops at.. Found 7968374 results. Scanning line 7970000

On row 7969999 (1 before), I see the following email.
[email protected]

I removed that value and saved and ran the test again but still it stopped at the same place like clockwork.

What's odd is that I downloaded another email extractor (much slower) and it too locks up around the same time but I do not know which row it is on.  Storage and memory are not an issue.

I will try now with a larger and then a smaller file.

UPDATE with 3.5GB File with 27m rows, same error.
Found 9792207 results scanning line 11800000

I joined just to reply - I ran the program to extract emails from a 2.6GB file but I keep getting this error.

External exception EEFFACE

This happens less than 10% through my search.

Another option to add - allow me to turn off Results Preview.  For a large result, that consumes a lot of time when really all I want is the exported results.

How much $$ to get this resolved?

I downloaded the version in the original link.  I am a Windows 7 user - is there a better option I should use if my only goal is to extract emails from multiple large files that I have?

THanks
