Reading the GSW spot rates from fed 2006 website
It might be easier to work with the .xls file that you can download from a link on this page: http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/feds/2006/200628/200628abs.html hope it helps, Garrett

Hello, Does anyone have any tips or suggestions regarding reading the rates that Gurkaynak, Sack and Wright are updating on this website: http://www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/researchdata/feds200628_1.html While I know how to scrape an html page the issue is that they have the pages going from oldest to newest so It is not easily apparent where the latest data is: As of right now it is on page 29... http://www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/researchdata/feds200628_29.html . the problem is that this will change What is even more frustrating that if you go to http://www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/researchdata/feds200628_30.html data exists but it is not clear in what sequence ... it seems to be draft data.. So I am not sure if anyone on this list has recommendations regarding unruly webpages .. Thanks, Mido Shammaa [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
