Batch Processing


To load a file for batch processing (e.g. a server log), use File => Open => Batch File. Next, enter the file name and select its format. Click OK to start processing.

Important: When entering multiple file names, they must be enclosed in quotation marks (" ") and separated by commas.

If a processed file consists of a text containing IP addresses (for example, e-mail message headers), the Text containing IP addresses format needs to be selected. When processing such files, all IP addresses will be processed regardless of their arrangement in the text. To process the IP address (for instance a Web or FTP server log), hostname, or domain lists, use the List of IP addresses or List of hostnames format. The first word of every line containing a correct IP address, host, or domain name will be processed. When selecting the Auto Detect option, the following file processing rules are applied: if a line contains one or several IP addresses, all IP addresses will be processed. If a line does not contain IP addresses, the first word of a line will be processed if it contains a correct host- or domain name.

If the Clear current results on batch load option is enabled (located on the Results page of the Options dialog), all current results will be cleared after loading a file. If the Allow duplicate queries in results option is disabled, all current results which request string (the Query column) matches the batch file processing results, will be replaced by the batch file processing results; i.e. it's similar to executing the Refresh command.
