Hi, My GnuCash file (SQLite format) has become rather large - 110 MBytes. Every month or two I import a lot more transactions in CSV format. I use piecash in a Python script I wrote, because the importing of CSV data built into GnuCash crashes when I import too many transactions. I might be im

It is true that Bitcoin is loved by speculators and scammers. But it does have legitimate use as a currency too. Government regulators are slowly moving to treat Bitcoin transactions similarly to traditional currency transactions between countries because of money laundering and terrorism financ

[GNC] Removing "," (comma) delimiters from large numbers

Hi, I'm exporting my transactions as CSV for processing by another program (awk - but that's not really relevant). Large numbers in the exported CSV have commas in them, like this: "20,000" In theory the quotes protect the comma from being considered a separator. But in practice it's hard to
