If you are using the Search, Extraction & Normalization Engine to download Item Sections of 10-K filings you might have noticed some strange formatting issues with some of those.  Here is an example:

This is a txt file.  However, because of a coding mistake I made  the file will be saved in your working directory as an htm file.  I don’t know what I was thinking.  The file comes from our server as txt file but I inserted a line to rename with the htm extension.

This has no effect on using other components of our software on the file.  That is you still get a valid word count and word frequencies, you can still index the files, they are just going to look ugly in the search results.  Here is the result of running the file through the Extraction/CountWordFrequencies part of the application.

I have fixed that part of the code.  I am not intending to push out the fix until we finish the next update (sort of a roll – your – own directEDGAR).  However, if you would like the fix sooner just email me.  This particular fix does not require a complete new install of directEDGAR – I send you a small file to install in the application folder.
