Where are ArcGIS Toolbox results saved?

Question

I need to copy the warning messages which are logged in the ArcToolbox geoprocessing results. The message contains warnings which I need to work through at a later date. Unfortunately, I am not able to copy the warnings in the results windows in ArcMap or ArcCatalog. The XML log file for the Toolbox only contains the parameters.

Is there a way to access these messages?

Answer 1

If you go to the results window after a tool has run, expand the tool then right click on Messages and Copy.

This works well for the odd tool but not for capturing messages from hundreds of tools. You might find the Help on Viewing tool execution history informative.
