09:43:50 <warlord> perth: fyi, the various calc2qif macros usually work okay. Or you could write your own perl/python/etc script to make the conversion.

20:53:30 *** Gbarr has joined #gnucash
20:54:42 <perth> huh, honestly the native xml doesn't look too difficult to deal with programatically except possibly GUID creation
20:56:02 <perth> though check/match/reconcile existing might prove..resource intensive
20:56:38 <warlord> perth: writing directly into the data file is not supported or recommended.
20:56:47 <perth> Obviously :)
20:57:04 <perth> I don't even consider it a good idea, just musing aloud
20:57:09 <warlord> you dont need a guid for qif
20:57:39 <warlord> converting to qif is simple, unless you have really really complicated transactions. But if you did I have no idea how you would even encode them in a CSV file.
20:58:40 *** Gbarr has quit IRC
20:58:41 <perth> The problem with qif isn't going to be qif. It's going to be creating a qif that manipulates GnuCash's processes such that a desireable import is acheived
20:59:10 <perth> Hell, if all I wanted was a qif I doubt I'd even bother with bash
20:59:13 *** Gbarr has joined #gnucash
20:59:36 <perth> It'd prob be easire doing it all from inside a spreadsheet (one off process anyway)
21:00:42 <warlord> I dont understand.. What kind of "manipulation" are you looking for? Qif is pretty simple and straightforward (most of the time)
21:01:19 <perth> More reliable matching against existing transactions, linking new transactions to desired secondary account
21:01:49 <warlord> the former .... you're better off not including duplicates in the qif
21:01:51 <perth> 1st may not be acheivable, second may be trivial, haven't tried messing w/ the account name in the qif for import
21:02:08 <warlord> for the latter -- just include the correct target account in the qif
21:02:19 <perth> Thought maybe :)
21:02:24 <warlord> E.g.: LExpenses:Groceries
21:02:38 <warlord> (for an expense match)
21:02:40 <perth> so fully qualified, k
21:03:24 <perth> is there a way to manipulate the date delta that gnucash considers when looking to match transactions? in other words, do you know where in source that is aprox?
21:04:04 <warlord> Well, I suppose you dont have to fully qualify it, but then you need to map it during import. If you're writing the qif you might as well fully qualify it to reduce your work during import
21:04:18 <perth> It's never worked out very well for me. what with loads of transactions coming in 10 days later, and out of order, and being batched weird :/
21:04:20 <warlord> probably in the qif import sources
21:04:33 <warlord> dont use QIF for duplicate matching.
21:04:42 <perth> mmm
21:04:48 <warlord> seriously..
21:04:59 <warlord> the importer was really designed for a one-off "convert from quicken" import.
21:05:03 <perth> that wasn't an argument it was more of a k
21:05:11 <perth> yeah
21:05:21 <warlord> the duplicate detection is..... suboptimal.
21:05:29 <warlord> OFX is much better for that.
21:05:30 <perth> truly
21:05:37 <perth> yeah?
21:05:40 <warlord> (well, it will easily detect txns previously imported)
21:05:53 <perth> bah, totally different ball game there
21:06:33 <perth> well... I guess I'll only have to reconcile ~ 1 month then
21:07:39 <perth> Guess I'll start on that tomorrow, assuming I don't get home 60 mintues before bed
21:16:49 <warlord> Okay. good luck
21:19:06 <perth> thanks
