I've written a VB program for dumping a list of quicken qdb files into
qif, which I'd be happy to GPL. The trouble is, it's not working yet.
I'm hoping that someone on the list knows something about VB and can
help me find the problem.
The program is basically a wrapper around sendkeys - it reads in
a pair of files, kicks off the app specified by the one, and then
feeding it via sendkeys with the contents of the other.
A separate perl script generates the file containing the commands
to be sent via sendkeys.
I've tested it with calc.exe, where everything works like a charm.
When used with qw.exe, on the other hand, it (almost) never does.
That's the weird part, it's like there's some sort of race condition
going on, like maybe at some point the key buffer gets dumped...
At any rate, it seems to me that few businesses will flash cut, so
being able to maintain double systems during a transition period would
be a critical thing. If anybody is interested in helping me finish
this, it would be really great.
Thanks, Andy
