Re: Similarities between CSV and QIF importers?

2007-05-29 Thread Chintan Agarwal
I guess the complications in QIF import is due to the ambiguities involved in the data of QIF files(like date formats etc.). Are such issues present in CSV too. In that case, apart from the parsing part, much of the code could be similar! As for the QIF import, I think the existing scheme code give

Hi Benny, I just happen to have examined the code for Finance::IIF, and I'm surprised at how similar the IIF format is to TSV (tab separated values). If what I think is correct, IIF is TSV. I realize you are talking about QIF, but since you also mentioned CSV, it might be an easy addition to incl

Similarities between CSV and QIF importers?

2007-05-29 Thread Benjamin Sperisen
Hi Chintan, I am the summer of code student working on the CSV importer. My mentor (Josh Sled) suggested that I try seeing if there are any similarities between the QIF and CSV importers that we could work on, and that seems like a good idea to me (why reinvent wheels?). I have code at the moment
