Re: importing bank qif file
Are you using the CVS version or a recent 1.5 release, or are you using 1.4? The QIF importer in 1.4 had a lot of problems, but the newer one in CVS/1.5 is MUCH better. You may still need to massage your QIF file a bit, depending on the bank it comes from. But as of a couple months ago Grib fixed all the problems that _I_ was experiencing with a half-dozen different financial institutions. Now it works for all my banks (although I still need to massage a few of my QIFs before they will import correctly). -derek Nathan "A."

UUID URL's
Hi Bill, FYI, This isn't very important but I thought I'd mention it: I was staring at our gnucash URL's: e.g. Income and realized that there's an internet draft for this stuff (excerpt below). If we follow the draft, a compliant format would be: Income --linas http://globecom.net/ietf/draft/draft-kindel-uuid-uri-00.html To enable the use of UUIDs as URI's within Internet documents this memo defines a simple UUID URI scheme. Using the scheme described in this memo, the above UUID would be represented as: uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6 The basic structure of a UUID URI is: uuid:; where is a string representation of a UUID, which is documented in [UUID]. The optional set of qualifiers are specified as name/value pairs separated by semi-colons. There are currently no qualifiers defined. However, UUID URI parsers should be written to gracefully ignore any characters that appear after the last character of the UUID (UUID strings are always 36 characters long). UUIDs must be generated using well known algorithms. 6. BNF FOR THE UUID URI A uuid URI begins with the scheme prefix "uuid" and is defined by the following grammar: uuid-uri = "uuid:" uuid [qualifiers] uuid = 8hex "-" 4hex "-" 4hex "-" 4hex "-" 12hex qualifiers = [";" name = value]* hex= "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9" | "a" | "b" | "c" | "d" | "e" | "f" | "A" | "B" | "C" | "D" | "E" | "F" PGP signature
importing "web connect" files -- was importing bank qif file
Hi again, When I posted my last question, I was under the impression that online banks used qif files -- that was a poor assumption. My bank (as well as many others) are using web connect. Web connect uses a new format based of of xml (as of version 2.0). This new format (ofx, I think) is talked about on gnucash.org -- but it doesn't talk about were it is now. Can I get an update? As I stated before, the new oxf format must meet the xml standards. Thus a parser such as expat (used for mozilla) should be easily added to gnucash. How to go from there I am not sure. If anyone could tell me were you are on that and how I may help, please drop a line.

The next stable version (1.6.0) will be using XML for the native gnucash format, so a parser is already available (gnome-xml). If you would like to work on an OFX importer, that would be great.

RE: importing "web connect" files -- was importing bank qif file
Title: RE: importing "web connect" files -- was importing bank qif file Hi, I would like to stress the fact that OFX is not "a" version of XML neither it is XML compliant at this time. The "problem" with OFX is that is does not enforce closing of every single tag. Even some client parsers (most notably Quicken) bark on finding these. I am in the stage of assembling information on how to parse these files, probably with the html part of expat or libhtml, which I translated to PHP for the server part (quicken-ofx-server, download site is currently unavailable). some links http://services.eurobench.nl/quicken/quicken.php for requests(==server) http://services.eurobench.nl/quicken/post.php form to easily post you scripts to the server (have to check if I still allow this) Bolke de Bruin Network Administrator & Programmer Tijd Beursmedia B.V. -Original Message- From: Dave Peticolas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: vrijdag 13 april 2001 23:36 To: "Nathan " A.

OFX before 2.0 uses SGML and is not XML-compliant. However, I believe OFX 2.0 is XML compliant. dave ___ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
