# Deal Data Instructions ## You Have Deal Data Locally! Your Deal data file should be named `Deal*.dat` and placed in this directory (`data/raw/`). ### Valid File Names: - `Deal2023.dat` ✓ - `DealData.dat` ✓ - `Deal20230501.dat` ✓ - `Deal_pitchbook.dat` ✓ ### Invalid File Names: - `deal2023.dat` ✗ (must start with capital 'D') - `company_deal.dat` ✗ (must start with 'Deal') - `Company2021_deal2023.dat` ✗ (currently exists but doesn't match pattern) ## The File is Already in .gitignore The Deal file won't be pushed to GitHub because it's listed in `.gitignore`: ``` Front/On/💌찰리스캇 러브레터 플젝/strategic ambiguity/empirics/data/raw/Deal20230501.dat ``` You can add your specific filename to `.gitignore` if it's different. ## What to Do 1. **If your Deal file has a different name**, rename it to match the pattern: ```bash # Example: rename your current file to Deal2023.dat mv your_deal_file.dat Deal2023.dat ``` 2. **Verify the file is here**: ```bash ls -lh Deal*.dat ``` 3. **Run the pipeline**: ```bash cd ../code python pipeline_xarray.py --from 2 --force ``` ## Expected Output Once the Deal file is properly named, you should see: ``` [Step 2] Processing deal data... Found 1 Deal files: ['Deal2023.dat'] - Deal2023.dat: NNNN rows, 95 columns Total deals loaded: NNNN ✅ Processed NNNN deals ``` ## File Format Verification Your Deal file should be: - **Delimiter**: Pipe (`|`) separated ✓ - **Encoding**: UTF-8 ✓ - **Header**: First row with column names ✓ Based on the sample you provided, your format looks perfect! Just need the right filename.
