Do you have a 32 bit Windows or a 64 bit version? How much RAM do you have? If you have only 4 GB RAM **AND/OR** a 32 bit Windows, the usable range is about 3.3 to 3.7 GB (Windows plus running apps), depending on your hardware.

So there might be less than 2 GB for apps. Supposing that the IATE app tries to load the .tbx file into the RAM you'd run into trouble because the lenght of the IATE file is 1.97 GB. Could this be the issue?

Java 8 update 112 is the latest version, which you can get if you download Java Runtime Environment: [url removed]

Anyway, you were right about the problem being the folder name! Thanks!

Dear Rolf,

Thanks a lot for your hint - after copying the relevant files to a different folder without spaces and umlauts, the extraction works just fine!

And thanks also to everyone else!

Kind regards,
Erik

This must be the problem. I didn't think it would be the cause of the problem because the folder doesn't contain any non-ASCII characters. Maybe it's the spaces or even just the overall address length? Anyway, I copied the ZIP file and the extract tool to a new folder just off the root directory and ran the program and it worked!

Thanks!

I can't get the extraction tool to work either. "Please wait..." appears and nothing happens. I've tried it with Windows 10 Home, running Java version 8 update 112, and Windows 7 Home, running Java version 8 update 111. I've tried different folder locations (including the root directory), different languages, Extract ALL and Extact ANY selected languages, Any domain or a variety of specific domains, and with two different IATE zip files, one from the IATE website, the other the Spanish/English extract ( [url removed] ). Maybe it works with an older version of Java?

In the end, using some previous threads on the matter, I've used a trial of Xbench to import the Spanish/English TBX file and export an Excel file (thanks for the suggestion, Michael! [url removed] ). MultiTerm is currently working on it.

I've just tried it with "your" languages DE, EN, NL. It worked with Windows 10 Pro.

Possible issues:

- Some tools don't accept folder or file names with spaces or non-ASCII letters

- Your host OS is a Mac OS, right? So try a "real" Windows via Bootcamp.

- Some IATE's files are not flawless (see Henk's explanation). So, maybe my Java instance on Win 10 works while you Java instance on Win 7 fails.

- Maybe the tool fails if you choose certain domains. (I tried the "Any domain" setting.)

BTW, such IATE extract files work well with the Omni-Lookup tool. Omni-Lookup is able to read .tbx directly. Because many IATE entries consist of lengthy phrases instead of single words, Omni-Lookup's sophisticated wildcard search is THE means for getting results quickly while hiding unwanted hits.

Dear Michael,

Thanks for the feedback - no idea what's happening here.

I know Henk's offer, and I've bought from him some years ago. Just thought I'd try the extraction app, too.

Regards,
Erik

Dear colleagues,

Has anyone recently used the term extraction application provided by IATE? After selecting input file and output folder, languages, and a domain, I click on "Start" and the app says "Please wait...", but it doesn't seem to do anything? Am I doing anything wrong?

I'm running the latest Java version on Win7 on Parallels.

Many thanks for any help,
kind regards,
Erik
