I would like to obtain a program that extract a specific table data from text files. Most of the text content is in html, the remaining are not.
To achieve that, you need:
1) Locate the table that I want. The table I want is the "Security Ownership For certain beneficial owners". However, the name of the table can change. You will need to write the program to find ("ownership" and "security") or ("ownership" and "stock") to locate the table.
The key words ownership, security/stock/securities, beneficial/beneficiary sometimes do not appear in the same row.
2) Extract the table data to csv (preferably using python. You could manually do it as well. There will be about 2000 files if you do it manually)
I have attached 5 text files in the attachment as well as the output file. Please see the attachment. The output for the 5 text files are also pasted below:

Hi,
I am a Python developer with proven and extensive experience writing Python scripts used to parse HTML markup with demonstrated quick turnaround.
This is normally done as part of web scraping projects using Beautiful Soup library (Python.)
My APPROACH
I can write Python code that can:
1. Locate relevant table based on given keywords:
-- Case 1 (HTML files - 3 & 4): Use paragraphs (elements with tag <p>) to search for keywords
(so that search is done on text instead of table rows)
Then, locate next sibling table
-- Case 2 (Text files - 5): Use elements with tag <PAGE> to search for keywords
Then, locate element with tag <TABLE> inside.
2. Extract Table Info:
-- Case 1 (HTML file): Regardless of table format or number of columns, there is actually a consistent structure inside each <tr> element (table row) for both columns names, and data rows (ie. same number of <td> elements). Script will exclude non-breaking space (" ") character.
-- Case 2 (Text file): Read data rows line by line.
3. Generate Excel sheet with relevant rows as output.
Deliverable is a Python script that can be run on schedule or on demand.
Hours of work: 8 Hr
Project Duration: Max. 3 days
Total Cost: 190 USD
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

Greetings!
Hi, I'm computer science graduate with more than 2 years of experience in Application development, I've read all details and also files that you attached here (input & output). I will do this task by first extracting data from files and parse for the required table on search entire html file for each account entry and remove duplication if found, after doing this i will write back that data to the xls.
I will do this task in C# Language, that Application Interface can be Desktop or Console Application.
Note! I've already worked as parsing document file parsing so it will be easy task for me
My Job will speak for itself.
Looking forward for consideration
My name is Mike and I’m from UK. I work with individual clients and also provide outsourcing services for a number of UK and USA based agencies. Your project description sounds interesting to me and I do have skills & experience that are required to complete this project. I can show you some examples of my work. Please contact me to discuss your project.
This looks like a fun project.
All tables seem to be within some html code. The files do contain some extra text. The extra text seems to not be relevant. The plan would be:
1. Strip extra text using regex
2. Convert html to tree using lxml
3. Use xpath to locate tables
4. Extract table information using xpath
5. Use csv module to write to csv file (one for each processed file)
6. Merge all files into one (if necessary)
7. Convert final file to xlsx (if necessary)
Milestone 1: Result for first 100 files
Milestone 2: Result for all files
All files to be provided.
Best,
Tammo

Hi
I have read out all the details given in your project and I am fully capable to deliver you this project with 100% accuracy. I have completed many projects related to this in the past. Why you do not knock me here for further detail? You can release the milestone after checking the work.
Hello,
I'm a recent graduate about to begin a program working in data science. For the past year I have been working extensively in my Python, performing a lot of research analysis. This required me to effectively learn to parse through text files and extract the information I need both quickly and cleanly. Using these skill, combined with some regex, and my familiarity with html, I could finish easily do this job.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Charlie
I have almost 5 years of experience writing Engineering tools in python.
During this time I had to parse many files, so I am well acquainted with your problem.
Thanks
Please see summary about myself. But I am very easy to work with and am detail-oriented. I don't need a lot of guidance, mostly just an outline of what needs to be done. At my last job, which I quit after getting a new job, all I did was write scripts in Python. I did similar things to get accomplish your purpose on this project. For my hourly wage, I just put down what I was getting paid previously for doing this kind of work, and I am more experienced now than before.
I have been working as a Quantitative Researcher in finance industry for 7 years and have done lots of projects like this. For example, I worked on an ETF strategy before and had to scrape those ETF websites, i.e. parse the html file, locate the data table, extract the data and finally store the data in our database.
I'm a Python expert and very skillful with libs like pandas, requests, beatifulsoup and so on. I will deliver in a very effective and efficient fashion.
