Run it from a command line using perl, assuming here that you have Strawberry
installed on C:
c:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe ObfuscateScript path/to/myfile.gnucash
Note that it rewrites the file in place, so make a copy and run it on that. The
file needs to be uncompressed.
Apart from the write in place I quite like it as an idea to progress
thought.
Positive: it is in perl which (many|most) people may have a working
version of if they are using F::Q
Negative: it doesn't reconcile well, but this may actually be a positive
because ...
Positive: if the script breaks some splits this should be seen as a good
thing by some, it makes the work of the super secret agents running gnc
harder.
Thinking aloud: another way of normalizing would be to split to some
point beyond usefulness and let gnc put it back together again using
Actions / Check & Repair

Remember flox, the idea is a file that someone else (who probably didn't
vote for the idiot Trump) could look at to see *your* problem.
Does the remote person want to see you paid USD10 for a burger meal and
some beer then vomited on the pavement and had to pay a fine for that?
Nope. The remote person wants to see what the fuck you have put in your
file that is screwing up the transaction stream.
