Mathematica Table function

Question

I\'m running a Table function which will take too much time to complete.

I wanted to know if there\'s a way to retrieve the results computed so far.

Answer 1

Another solution is to export results of intermediate computations to a running log file as described in this answer by WReach (see the "File-backed In-memory Approach" section). With this you will newer loose results of intermediate computations and will always be able to investigate what is computed so far.

P.S. I think usage of Monitor as suggested in this recent Mathematica tip on twitter is also useful in such cases:

Monitor[Table[Integrate[1/(x^n + 1), x], {n, 20}], 
 ProgressIndicator[n, {1, 20}]]
