Issues with Extracting Text Elements Using sec_parser

[YijingZhang-98]

I am currently using sec_parser to parse SEC filings, and I've encountered issues while trying to extract specific text elements such as TopSectionTitle, TitleElement, and TextElement. The output includes ANSI escape codes which seem to interfere with straightforward text extraction.

And subfunction for extracting the text?

Hi, thank you for reaching out.

Could you provide more specific examples? Screenshots and/or code you're using?

[YijingZhang-98]

Thanks for the quick response. What I mean is after having the output in such structure, is there anyway to get the pure text without "TitleElement", "TextElement" stuffs?

[Elijas]

render function is meant only for human viewing the terminal output by printing it, that's why it has ANSI escape codes.

To get text just do

all_text = [element.get_text() for element in elements]

Thank you, but it looks like none of the element has the text...

t() for element in elements]

Please try using just

all_text = [element.text for element in elements]

it should work
