You can put this in a combine.py file. Install python3 (preferably), change the names of the files at the bottom and give it a shot (python combine.py) Python is a blast as far as languages are concerned, so give it a shot, you probably won't regret it! Good luck, Jean # This combines a list

Jean, I would love to see how you did it with Python. That's actually on the shortlist of languages I want to learn. I realized that at least in so far as the Citi produced OFX file is concerned, I will always need to delete a fixed number of lines. If I download only one account at a time, I mu

I think we're talking about OFX here, which is a lot more robust that QIF as far as importing. In any event, when you combine the OFX files, the OFX import is done sequentially (apparently) in GC as if you opened them one after the other, but I may be wrong. The transactions do all appear combi

I hacked some python code to do that if you're interested. I'm taking ofx files, reading them and combining them just the way you describe it. It's not beautiful code but it works. What would be awesome would be if you could select multiple files in GC, and then do the import! On 4/15/20 2:58

Well, combined OFX files *are* supported, at least when the originate from the same bank. I just created a combined OFX file by joining two separate OFX files, and putting the two data in between the BANKMSGSRSV1 tags in a row.                 In other words, I took everything th

Stu, Are you doing online banking through GnuCash or importing OFX files that you downloaded earlier? I am importing OFX files that I imported directly from my bank's website. I think that the same OFX format is used either way but a different procedure is used to get the data into GnuCash. Wh

The AqB code and the OFX import code are not the same though. So it's quite possible one supports it, and the other not. I'll take a look tonight! Jean On 4/14/20 1:06 PM, Stu Perlman wrote: Jean, I always assumed it was supported because if you use GNC to configure AqB, you only need to set up

Citi does do it, the problem is that I can't get the import to load properly (or without error, I don't recall now). I'll try to pull a consolidated file from Citi and then examine it to see if the tags that you mentioned in your earlier email are included or if they are missing. - Stu On Tue, A
