If this text->gnucash-xml conversion works, then why don't we include it in CVS, be it even into src/experimental, into a txt-import directory? People ask about various import features all the time, so if this is a working conversion then we have at least *something* to point people to. Personally, I don't have any accounting data in any text/table/whatever format, so I can't tell how well this script works. Anyway, Niklaus, thanks for contributing this work, and maybe you get hooked for hacking on gnucash itself... scheme might be unusual at first, but a bunch of developers on IRC at irc.gnome.org's #gnucash will always happily help you out with any scheme code fragment you need. :-) Christian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iQCVAwUBPQUY12XAi+BfhivFAQH+TAP/TZuup0W1GnWmm1tYxahrc+c5lMxTGwHf tNLuw9sjZfcBfxgk9Jn08cc4y9YPEGju0NUF5DWqyX0K9dYRQGgEfpdEQKUuG9l3 rQ1Ldr9WnXLAz6LROb7inULVJrCKv7Kb0x/FaAjF6mI0heLX6bdNwJNflhXwAEdu L7iyJ57Uops= =NAjN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
