The general goal is to pull off and separate agreements that are exhibits to EDGAR 10-K and 8-K filings into individual text files. Scripts already exist to do the basic work, just a more cohesive process needs to be implemented. More specifically the following process is requested: 1. Pull of a specified index for a given year quarter - use [login to view URL] to pull down the index 2. In that index, connect again to the server and pull off all 10-K and 8-K filings (can use [login to view URL] as starting point but it will need to be modified) 3. The parse thru the files to pull of and separate the portions of the files that are agreements into individual files. The attached script will parse the files and pull off the data An example of this is as follows: - In the 3rd Quarter of 2008, there is a file in the index named 0000950137-04-006413.txt. The full line in the index file is as follows: 1024657|WEST CORP|8-K|2004-08-09|edgar/data/1024657/[login to view URL] When that file is downloaded, it looks like the file here - [login to view URL] In that file there are two Exhibits - Exhibit 2.1 and 2.2. Both contain the word "Agreement" in their title. If this file was parsed, the contents in Exhibit 2.1 would be in one resulting file and the contents in Exhibit 2.2 would be in another file at the end. Both files should have individualized names to make them recognizable such as date-name (like "Purchase Agreement")-exhibit) (but can end in txt) Any modifications to the above scripts will be released under the GNU AGPL. Resulting script / program should run on Ubuntu 10.10.
