I am not the sharpest knife in the block, but here is a quick hack. 1. Open a term window 2. cd to the qif file 3. type the following replace NAME with the name of your file perl -pe "s/(D.*?)\'/\$i\//" < NAME.qif > NAME-post.qif 4. Now import NAME-post.qif
Problem solved. Well, not really. Now I have to actually look at all this stuff. Darn it! Jaysen On Dec 23, 5:12 pm, Jaysen <[email protected]> wrote: > Tried the explicit "for mac" export.
