Managing Your Money --> GNUCash

I have finally put the Perl script that allowed me to use GNUCash up on a web site. I had a couple years of data in Managing Your Money 2.x that I didn't want to reenter. The script will output a single QIF file with all transactions, accounts, and categories. (Currently only non-investment transactions are handled.) The QIF file can be imported to xacc-1.0.18 if a small patch is applied to QIFIO.c. The site is

Duplicate Transactions

I also have a script that I use to remove duplicate transactions at the QIF level. I use this script because Xacc is very strict about duplicates (which is good) and because editing imported transactions will cause a re-import of the same transactions to produce duplicates. (I download the same month's transactions from my bank several times each month, so each downloaded QIF file--after the first--contains transactions I have already imported. I don't want to rely on the bank sending me the transactions in the same order or with the same formatting.) The site is

I hope others find these scripts useful.
