Hi John,
A developer from this list and I are working on something similar to what
you have requested. Work has started. A working prototype is close at hand.
I plan to make the completed tool available free (open source). It will run
outside gnucash and it targets Linux. It will allow complex CS
Dave,
Why work outside gnucash?
GnuCash already has a basic CSV importer -- why not spend your
time enhancing it?

For Windows, I use MT2OFX
http://www.xs4all.nl/~csmale/mt2ofx/en/banklist.htm
It's a simple non-open source app, but it does provide the logic for trying
to figure out which conversion to use; and it has plenty of existing scripts
that adjusting one was not too hard

Derek,
The reason we are working on a free-standing tool is that 1) I wasn't aware
of the CSV importer in gnucash code, 2) the developer I'm working with
didn't mention it, and 3) and we have already started and made good progress
going in this direction. That said, I would be interested in learnin

I just want to point out what .cvs support entails for the benefit of
those for whom this isn't immediately obvious.
.cvs refers to the low level format of the data -- just that the file of
data consists of "records? delineated by and the records
consist of "fields" delineated by commas. But t

Great.
That only leaves me with the question of which distribution to use to
start the building and testing on ? I initially tried Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4, but almost all of the packages used there were
severely out of date. Then I switched to Fedora 10, which gave me a

I want to report some observations (bugs?) regarding gnucash's OFX import
function.
With the import of any OFX file I have tested, there is a reproducible bug.
The bug shows up in two different ways depending on the content of the
ACCTTYPE element in the OFX file.
*Case 1:*
*MONEYMRKT*

So Im playing around with the CSV data importer, but the layout of my

Please file this observation as a bug report in bugzilla, preferably with a
test OFX file so that this error can readily be reproduced by the developers.
