Given a link to a filing document (e.g. the 10-K, 8-K) in TXT, process the file into parts and items. This enables follow-up processing of a desired section - e.g. just the Risk Factors. `item.name` and `part.name` are taken directly from the document without any attempt to normalize.
parse_text_filing(x, strip = TRUE, include.raw = FALSE, fix.errors = TRUE)
| x | - URL to a filing text document or actual text |
|---|---|
| strip | - Should non-text elements be removed? Default: true |
| include.raw | - Include unprocessed nodes in result? Default: false |
| fix.errors | - Try to fix document errors (e.g. missing part labels). WIP. Default: true |
a dataframe with one row per paragraph
Detected name of the Part
Detected name of the Item
Text of the paragraph / node
Raw HTML of the node if include.raw = TRUE
NOTE: This has been tested on a range of documents, but formatting differences could cause failures. Please report an issue for any document that isn't parsed correctly.
FURTHER NOTE: Not all filings are well formed - missing headings, bad spacing, etc. These can all throw the parsing off!
