I'm looking for some help to do the following:
Go to the SEC website everyday, identify any new 10Ks or 10Qs that were released that day, and then output any 10Ks or 10Qs that contain a specific search field I'm looking for.
The SEC website actually has a site dedicated to "latest filings", which is for any new filings for that day. The URLs for identifying 10Ks and 10Qs for any given day are:
10Q:
http://sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?com...er=include&count=100&action=getcurrent
10K:
http://sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?com...er=include&count=100&action=getcurrent
That's the easy part. I want to see if there is a way to search the retuned filings for some specified text. If it finds it, download the HTML file. Otherwise, skip it and go onto the next one.
My wife, who's a software developer, says it is pretty doable but she's too busy to do it. And she said something about perl. What do you guys think?
