Re: [Almost OT] Interfacing with GNUCash

Ah, didn't know it was abandonware, Sounds like waiting till you can use the c api is probably the best way, unless you know enough c (I don't) to write an intermediate executable that you can shell to. I did see some php stuff too, but suspect it never got off the ground. On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at

Re: [Almost OT] Interfacing with GNUCash

Hi again Mike. I found this - https://github.com/loftx/gnucash-rest/blob/master/gnucash_core_c.py - but it appears to have been abandoned. However, it might come in handy with working out how to use the C API> Best regards

Re: [Almost OT] Interfacing with GNUCash

Many thanks Mike. You did better than I via Google. I found some reference to the C API but it seemed very vague. If it is a case of using the C API, I hope that we’ll be able to access it directly from LC 8 or 9. Best regards Peter > On 3 Mar 2015, at 08:20, Mike Bonner wrote: > > Hmm, ju

[Almost OT] Interfacing with GNUCash

Has anybody written a LiveCode script which posts transactions directly into the GNUCash accounting system (or similar)? I know that GNUCash stores its data in SQLite so there is the option to write the data directly to the GNUCash database but I was wondering if anybody knows a better way. Re
