File Naming

Files: treasury_bulletin_YYYY_MM.txt (e.g., treasury_bulletin_1941_01.txt) Total: 697 files spanning 1939-2025 Index: /app/corpus/index.txt

Date-to-File Mapping

  • Monthly data for month M, year Y: check treasury_bulletin_Y_MM.txt
  • Annual summary for year Y: check treasury_bulletin_{Y+1}_01.txt or {Y+1}_02.txt or {Y+1}_03.txt
  • A bulletin from January 1954 contains data through end of 1953
  • Quarterly data (ESF balance sheets): check _03, _06, _09, _12 months
  • If question says "10/1960 Bulletin": go to treasury_bulletin_1960_10.txt

Search Strategy (Fallback Cascade)

Try each step in order. Stop when you find data.

Step 1 -- Direct lookup: If question mentions a specific bulletin (e.g., "10/1960 Bulletin"), go directly to that file.

Step 2 -- Exact phrase grep:

bash
grep -rl "exact phrase" /app/corpus/ | head -20

Step 3 -- Keyword grep: Use 2-3 key terms:

bash
grep -rl "defense" /app/corpus/ | xargs grep -l "expenditure" | head -20

Step 4 -- Synonym grep: Replace term with synonyms from table below.

Step 5 -- Year-range scan: Write a batch Python script to scan all files in the relevant year range (see system instructions for template).

Step 6 -- Broad scan: If still nothing, scan ALL months of the target year AND the following year:

bash
ls /app/corpus/treasury_bulletin_{YEAR}_{01..12}.txt /app/corpus/treasury_bulletin_{YEAR+1}_{01..03}.txt 2>/dev/null
