Re: [GNC] Export as text or CSV
Reports are HTML. They open quite easily in spreadsheet apps. You can then massage as needed to remove extraneous spacing columns and then convert to CSV. (you can also select-all and then paste non-formatted text into a spreadsheet if you don't want to save first) If you do the copy/paste method, most spreadsheets should offer you options for importing the text so you can clean up a few formatting issues. (though not all) You could also export a report and script the stripping of formatting spaces, converting it to CSV. (I'm pretty sure there is already an app that can convert HTML tables to CSV, thus saving having to 're-make the wheel') There are also ways to get your data outside of the GnuCash GUI. There is a CLI interface and Python bindings. I haven't used either, but some here on the list have. There is also a separate app called Piecash, which can extract data from GC. Hope one of those will get you what you need.

Isn't there an editor command to set line length? I'll bet if you set line length to a large number before pasting, the lines won't wrap. I don't know which release of GC you have, but in 2.6.19 I can click into the Accounts tab, then click File » Export » Export Account Tree to CSV.

[GNC] Export as text or CSV
Is there a way to export either the Accounts main screen or an Accounts Summary report as either a plain text file or a CSV file? The best I have found so far is Select via mouse the text on the multiple screens, then Ctrl-C to copy to clipboard, then Ctrl-V to paste into a file in an editor. Unfortunately, that process ends up wrapping lines (to perhaps 80 characters). ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
