XML file format questions
Dear Maxime,
I really like the XML structure in Home Bank's *.xhb format! It is better than QIF, in my opinion.
On my Linux Ubuntu (Mint) computer I am about to import about 20,000 transactions in 28 accounts over a decade of time. Can you help me with a few questions:
- May I edit *.xhb with an ASCII text-editor? or would that cause troubles with checksums, etc.? If so:
- Am I free to reorder keyword=value pairs in *.xhb?
- May I import new transactions merely by adding some XML lines to the *.xhb?
- In the QIF from which I imported, often I misspelled a payee's name. The the *xhb has assigned a a different integer to the wrongly spelled name, of course. May I directly edit the *.xhb to correct matters, say, by replacing payee no."973" in the transactions with "180", and then merely delete the <pay key="973" line?
- Are all the extra floating-point digits a typical representation in *.xhb? For example, I imported this QIF:
D1/20/10
PSharkey's
MCoffee beans
T-35.36
C*
LFood:Groceries
^
but the *.xhb file contains this:
<ope date="733792" amount=
Many thanks,
