On Windows, those three lines turns to millions of lines ☹.

I just stick with shell in case of *NIX or good old batch on Windows. In theory 
it is just adding a single comma before or after the value column based on 
value of another column.

I can easily write a little Python thingie and put it in my right-click menu, 
but it's just an added annoyance in this increasingly annoying world.

Sadly, you will have to do some pre-processing before import. Put minus sign in 
front of debits or credits, depending upon how the book is setup. GNUCash does 
not have a conditional way of importing data in CSV by looking at a column. CSV 
files can be edited in any text editor.

I'm sure this has been asked in a dozen different variations over the years but 
I'm now faced with the issue myself since I now need to use CSV for downloading 
(I hate TD Bank, who have removed the OFX download option). I can't immediately 
find any old messages describing this particular issue, so I thought I'd just 
ask.

 

Simplified, TD Bank CSV downloads only basically have four fields:

*       Date
*       Description
*       "Debit" or "Credit"
*       Amount (always positive)

 

Import works fine, except that I can't see any way (short of pre-editing the
file) to get the CSV importer to understand that the amount field goes in a 
different column (D or C) depending on a different field's value. This must be 
fairly common - am I just blind?
