By rules I mean the text used for matching, which is stored in the DB.

But if regex can't be done that is truly a pity.

Is there a way of getting change requests  scheduled, and crowd funded?

I don't know what "rules" you are talking about. The importers either use string matching or tokenized bayesian matching. There is no glob or regex matching.

Hi,
It doesn't support editing the rules yet I can do that directly in the dB...
So I am wondering if properly escaped * in the DB will perhaps work.
This lack of user control of rules is a serious product limitation.

Sorry,
Gnucash does not support wildcard matching for import mapping.

Hi,

Interesting but I want to be able to use wild cards. I can edit the gnucash
db and I want something like *zork*

Doe anyone know how this can be done?

Regards

Paul

Paul,

You might look at <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Bayes> for a start.  I
am not sure if this page has been updated for the changes that were made
when GnuCash added a way to edit the matching criteria. For general concept
I would Google "Bayesian Matching"

Hi,

I love Gnucash and have used it often. But, the lack of easy end user
control of matching rules is annoying.

Whilst I can easily edit the matching lines in the xml DB. I cannot figure
out how to do wildcard matching. Is it possible to use some kind of escape
chars in the xml to force wildcard matching?

Regards

Paul
