Getting "organized" text programmatically out of PDF is a giant pain. My current approach is almost completely programmatic. BTW, Raku is the "sister" language of Perl, and it is a "scripting" language. Raku can also use Perl modules so I can use Finance::Quote with it if need be. But, until I can get the bank data working, I won't be needing it. Thanks, Chris. -Tom Hi Tom, I was actually suggesting you just highlight the transactions in the pdf statement and copy/paste them into a spreadsheet or text file before using a scripting language to reformat them but if you can programmatically extract the text that would be better long term. I notice with my PDF statement that (free) Adobe Acrobat DC no longer allows me to select text (as they want me to pay for a fancy tool - BOO) but if you send the pdf to Edge or Chrome you can select just the transaction text. Thanks for the info re Raku. Finance::Quote is just for getting stock prices from websites (usually) so not useful for this task. Are you sure you cannot export transactions from your bank? All mine do although sometimes it is hard to find.
