Amazing package #1

Hello team,

I came across your EDGAR package and found this an amazing package with a great retrieval power.

However, I got stuck somewhere as I need to download the files to see the contents.

Pls see the codes below for extracting 2017 data, after installing the EDGAR package : getMasterIndex(2017) Successfully downloaded Master Index for year: 2017 and quarter: 1 Successfully downloaded Master Index for year: 2017 and quarter: 2 Successfully downloaded Master Index for year: 2017 and quarter: 3 Successfully downloaded Master Index for year: 2017 and quarter: 4 Filename status 1 2017: quarter-1 Download success 2 2017: quarter-2 Download success 3 2017: quarter-3 Download success 4 2017: quarter-4 Download success

Now I want to see an example of data retrieval for a company called United Continental (CIK: 0000100517) with:

UAL_report <- getFilings(2017, 0000100517, 'ALL')

It then asks me if I want to download data: "Total number of filings to be downloaded=127. Do you want to download (yes/no)?"

Which I selected Yes, and it shows me "Links" with "Download Success" info

Now I exported all of the filings to txt format with:

write.table(UAL_report, file="mydata.txt", sep=",")

This was saved in the workspace directory in txt format.

So, my question to you is how can I see the contents/data within each of the files? How can I see its annual/quarterly (10K/10Q) reports? like the below quarterly result: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/100517/000119312517313831/d437791d10q.htm

I would be grateful if you can pls provide your insight for the same. Kind regards, Satya
