Yes, I've read those. I looked at the OpenHBCI C API at http://openhbci.sourceforge.net/doc/api/group__HBCI__APIg.html but didn't find anything in there to parse MT940 files directly, so I kind of gave up on that. Not that I've looked further, the parser in swiftparser.cpp looks a fine piece of work (though the lex/yacc version looks cleaner ;-). Can I call the parser directly, without first creating an HBCI_API object? It doesn't seem like there is a C wrapper function available, at least not in core/swiftparser.h. Would it be possible to create one? Alternatively, can I use C++ code in the importer module just to call this function? The code for reading from the file could be in the gnucash module, just feeding strings to SWIFTparser::readMT940 and then using trans_list_cb from gnc-hbci-gettrans.c to turn them into gnucash transactions. Some more things: is the booking code (you call it "transaction key") interpreted somewhere? Is there a possibility to allow unstructured :86: fields (my bank has them)? Maybe the bank-specific parsing should be done in openhbci instead of in gnucash by the way. (I'll leave the discussion of interfacing with libmt940 for now, since the openhbci parser look quite nice and better maintained) Jan-Pascal _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
