We have had several questions about using files and CIK lists with directEDGAR. I prepared a short video that illustrates the process of moving data that is in the Clipboard as well as files to/from your session. The video illustrates the transfer of a list of CIKs to use in a search. When the search is finished we need to copy the missing CIKs from the search back to our local computer and then we want to extract the actual documents and save those locally. All of this is illustrated in this video.

As a side note – we use a service from a company named Rev to create closed captions for our videos. There can sometimes be a lag as long as 24 hours between our video release and the addition of the captions. They do a much better job with the captions than the free services so we appreciate your patience during the caption process.
