Update Python Script That Parses HTML Files

I have a script written in Python 3 that parses data from .html files and stores the parsed info in a json file. Requirements to run: While the script uses Python, it runs in a Windows environment with Python installed and also requires lxml be installed as well. Update Needed: I need to update the script so that any .html file that contains the phrase "People also ask" is moved (not copied) to another directory and no data is parsed from these files into json. Basically, this check/update should be added to the beginning of the script so it is one of the first things run to ensure files containing the phrase are not parsed but rather moved to a new location. There is a config file that goes with the script and it would be great if I could specify the directory to save to in this file but if I need to edit the script file directly that is not a problem. That is it. I can provide the full source files upon request. I just don't want to post them here for anyone to access. And of course if you are selected for the job you will have access to the script files as well. I believe this should be a pretty simple update so I am hopefully someone can get it complete today or tomorrow at the latest. I will favor bids that can complete the job sooner rather than later but it will by no means be the only consideration I make when choosing a bid. Thanks!

Hi there! First, a bit of background about myself - I'm a professional software developer working at a large Fortune 50 company, with some solid experience in working with C and Python. I've been writing Python code for over 6 years now, and it's probably my favourite programming language. I've currently got quite a bit of free time on my hands, so I'd love to take up this task. Secondly, the task at hand seems quite straightforward: if I understand it correctly, you need your existing script to: 1. Ignore all files and 2. Move said files to a specified directory if they contain a particular phrase ("People also ask"). All existing processing that's been done to the html files will be ignored if they contain this phrase. The job seems simple enough, and I should be able to do it in a couple of hours (complete with Testing and such). Let me know if you'd like to work with me. Thanks!
