URL Extractor overview

URL Extractor extracts email addresses and URLs from files, from the Web, and also via search engines. It can start from a single Web page and navigate all the links inside looking for emails or URLs to extract, and save all on the user HD. It can also extract from a single file or from all the content of a folder on your HD at any nested level.

Once done, it can save URL Extractor documents to disk, containing all the setting used for a particular folder or file or Web pages, ready to be reused. Or the extracted data can be saved on disk as text files ready to be used for the user purposes.

It allows the user to specify a list of Web pages used as navigation starting points and going to other Web pages using cross-navigation. You can also specify a series of keywords; then it searches Web pages related to the keywords via search engines, and starts a cross-navigation of the pages, collecting URLs. It can navigate for hours without user interaction in Web extraction mode, extracting all the URLs it finds in all the Web pages it surfs unattended; or starting from a single search engine using keywords, looking in all the resulting and linked pages in an unlimited navigation and URL extraction.

This is interesting. Under the term "Shareware" I understand, as properly indicated in the software, that I get to use all the features for a certain number of days. Here however, it works as such: 1) You get a screen telling you that you have a 10 day trial. 2) You try to use the app, but it's actually limited like a demo. What is it now, Shareware or Demo? That aside, it uses a lot of RAM and thanks to its restrictions, does not give me enough reasons to pay 50 dollars for something like this. Seriously developer, shorten your alerts' dialogues and create a proper trial.

It's the biggest joke I'd ever seen as a Mac supported and endorsed product! Really, I come close to believe that this is a scam. Downloaded it and tried to extract http:// from a simple rtfd file ... it didn't do a thing. It just laid there like dead meat. Threw it instantly in the Trash bin and wouldn't even waste a second on this crap ... 50 bucks he wants for that? He would need to pay me 100 for a lost half an hour ;-)

I can't really evaluate how well it does since, in my case, it only extracted 12 addresses from a folder containing 50 files, and 4402 "Purchase a license....". Email Extractor, which I have been using for some time, on the same folder gave me 1,138 valid addresses, 19,204 bad addresses and 5,756 duplicate addresses at less than half the price! I do like the "web" and "search engine" options, but I haven't tried these. Most of my requirements are with files. The price is 'out of whack' compared to similar products.

Nice idea, but all it produces from a pdf file with hundreds of URLs is some garbage and hundreds of demands to buy this crap...
