How do i extract a specific section of a form?

[gopi-tookitaki]

For example, if in a form 10-k how do i extract section 5 only

[dgunning]

Convert the 10-K filing into a TenK Data Object

tenk = filing.obj() 
tenk["Item 5"]

Thanks, what are u using to extract the sections?

[dgunning]

Pretty complicated code. I can explain but it would be a blog article

@dgunning can u say the high level approach, how u chunk it based on sections?

also if the documet item is 5.02, if i do tenk["Item 5"] it doesnt work it has to be exactly 5.02. is there any workaround for this? for e.g if i wanna take 100 companies and extract all their section 5's from the 10k

[dgunning]

Try

item_5s = [item 
           for item in tenk.items 
           if item.startswith("Item 5")]

@dgunning in item 7 (MD & A) of the 10k, there is a section called Revenue recognition, but i cant seem to extract out that section, is it possible to do with ur library?
