Re: [GNC] Wildcard matching on import
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?

Re: [GNC] Wildcard matching on import
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.

[GNC] Wildcard matching on import
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?
