Cha-Ching and the MEMO field in Quicken .QFX files

by Ardekantur

If you use Cha-Ching and have a bank, like PNC, that allows exports into Quicken File (.QFX) format, then you can use a quick sed script to replace the normally useless <name> field with the infinitely more useful <memo> field.

Ta-da:

#!/bin/sh
sed -e '/\<NAME/d' -i '' "$1"
sed -e 's/\<MEMO/\<NAME/' -i '' "$1"

Save it as quickenImportManip.sh, and run it:

$ chmod +x quickenImportManip.sh
$ ./quickenImportManip.sh YourQuickenFile.qfx

Then import away!
