Ummm genius is a bit of an overstatement.
But anytime my glacier-like plodding progress towards semi-intelligence can be of help to anyone else then I'm glad to be of assistance.
Happy handicapping.

Isn't C-C Class Consistency; P-S Pace/Speed; PWR Mitchell's Power number; and CS Carroll Speed?

The Handifast Installer you created works great on my computer. (Win10 64bit) Kudos!
Funny how on my computer the scales file must have one scaling method deleted or both scales often display on the same line in the analyst builder preventing a choice. I only use fibonacci so I remove woods leaving the first line blank and fibonacci on the second line.
Early this week I finally fixed the lack of fibonacci rankings I was having for a while. That definitely makes an enjoyable difference. I would describe what I did wrong to cause the issue and how I fixed it but I'm concerned that would be too humbling.
By the way, I'm curious about why the analyst.flg file sometimes goes from a T to an F? And when it's an F how does that affect the operation of the program?
I can understand why you haven't used HandiSearch as the analysis is a head scratcher. Great tool though and when I can figure out how to speed up the analysis then it should be much more fun.
Here's a screenshot of my Handisearch examination in Excel with all the raw numbers and certain columns removed and many columns narrowed.
So my question remains. Why does HandiSearch data only give two to five horses per race? Hmmmm.

Hi,
Email me your data and result files, and I will try and see why this is happening.

Here is an installer for handisearch also.
Right click icon it creates on desktop choose ‘open file location ‘ see “hani batch processor directions.pdf for usage.
Also note that if you have a ton of race files and results files instead of loading them one by one with the GUI you can just copy and paste them all into the folders created. Handibatchracedata for pp files and handibatchresults for the xrd files.
Hope it helps with the setup.

I do not get the issue of 2-5 in the csv it produces and worth noting to get to the csv easily use the before mentioned right click ‘open file location ‘

One question if someone can check.
Is there only one version of handisearch?
Do I have the correct one package in the installer..
I ask because the changes in HandiFast, AW/T etc to average speed/ Prime etc do not seem to be there.

Hi Doug,

I've just emailed all the files. Thanks very much for the assistance.
I'm now going to update my version of HandiSearch with the newer exe and tkn files from post #968 to see if that addresses the issue. Probably not but it's worth a shot.

HandiSearch - Complete CSV
After updating my copy of HandiSearch with the newer exe and tkn from post #968 I was able to produce a complete csv file. (screenshot)
Thanks mmdorn for your kind offer to look into this for me.
Now it's back to slicing/dicing and analyzing this data in Excel to in order to improve my HandiFast weighting when handicapping Woodbine.
I'm thinking there must be software other than Excel that would help me analyze this csv file in a quicker and easier way but so far I haven't found it.
But so far I'm steadily learning how to use Excel and I've done a fair bit of productive analysis with Excel just using the half-size csv. Now I'll toss most of that research info out and focus on the complete csv for the past 12 months of Woodbine.
By the way, I've read that it's common for HandiSearch to stop processing when it finds a corrupt file until the corrupt file is removed (easy process explained in forum) but luckily both times I ran it 102 racing cards were processed in 12 mins without stopping at all.
HandiSearch rocks!
