LDC #143: Table Mapping Tools - Novaworks Weblog
Working with text inside of tables when looking at HTML code can sometimes be a daunting task. Looking at rows of code that are rows and columns can be difficult, especially when trying to write a script to read text from within a table. Keeping track of what row and cell you are in sometimes can feel like an entire script in itself. Luckily for us we have a number of functions in Legato that can allow us to read data from a table as though we were looking at a spreadsheet. This means that we can focus on developing tools to focus on aggregating the data itself rather than reinventing the wheel every time that we want to retrieve data from a table.
LDC #140: Using Legato to Ease the Creation of 8-K Cover Pages: Part 2 - Novaworks Weblog
This week we are going to move forward with our creation of a tool to allow us to fill out a Form 8-K cover page. Last blog we started our process by creating a script that showed how to use the HTML templates to create a custom template that runs a Legato script. This week we are going to expand on that concept, redesigning the script to be able to work with multiple form types and adding in the ability to add expandable lists into each form.
LDC #138: Using Legato to Ease the Creation of 8-K Cover Pages - Novaworks Weblog
The SEC recently updated the requirements for what information should be included on a number of the cover pages for their forms. GoFiler already has templates for a lot of common forms like the 8-K, 10-Q, and 10-K, but I had an idea that would eventually make creating these cover pages even easier than they already are by putting the power of Legato to work. The current templates simply create a blank cover page with empty areas to enter data in the Page View edit window. My script will prompt the user to provide the information in a simple form when they create the document and automatically place that data on the cover page.
LDC #131: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 4: Dialog - Novaworks Weblog
It?s time to finish up our full script for our Section 16 data scraper.

This week we are going to finish up by creating a dialog and adding our script functionality into the dialog.
LDC #129: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 3: Analysis - Novaworks Weblog
It's time to finish up our base script for our Section 16 data scraper. In the first two parts of this series we started a script that would go out to the SEC's website, download all of the filings from a particular CIK, cache all of the Section 16 filings, find all of the reported transactions, and put those transactions into a CSV file. This week we are going to finish up the base functionality by reading through all of the transactions and finding the current holdings. Additionally we are going to perform a large amount of refactoring as well as add in the functionality to look at reported holdings.
LDC #122: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 2: Aggregation - Novaworks Weblog
A few weeks ago we started building a Section 16 Data Scraper with the intention of a user being able to enter a CIK and Legato downloading all of the CIK’s Section 16 filings, putting the data together into a spreadsheet, and then being able to start a Section 16 filing by using that data as an entry point. At the end of the last post we had a script that would go out and download all of a singular CIK’s filings. It would also cache any filings it saw so that we were only downloading each individual filing once. This week we are going to continue onward and code a system to scrape useful data out of the filings and put it together into a CSV file.
LDC #117: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 1: Collection - Novaworks Weblog
If you are not familiar with the term Section 16, Section 16 is a section of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In fact, it is section 16 of the act. Section 16 is a way to attempt to mitigate insider trading at companies. It states that any person who is a director of the company, an officer of the company, or a 10% or more beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, they must file Forms 3, 4, and 5. These forms report the level of equity interests whenever a significant change occurs. The terms that you will see referenced here are reporting owner, who is the person of interest here, and issuer, who is the company that in which the reporting owner has equity.
LDC #111: Back To The Log - Novaworks Weblog
About a year ago I wrote a blog with the basics of how logs work with GoFiler and Legato. At the end I mentioned that in a future blog post we would talk more about what you can do with log objects.

One feature GoFiler doesn’t have natively is the ability to have multiple currency types for a single fact in XBRL. Well, we can add support for that using Legato! The new functionality will be achieved by combining two different XFR files.
LDC #32: XBRL Merger, Part 2 - Novaworks Weblog
The previous post covered how to prompt the user for a pair of files, checked to make sure those files were valid XFR files that we could actually access, and finally made sure that they weren't the same files.
