hsbc business online banking previous transaction export

[Damian Dimmich]

Hi,

Hsbc business online banking in the UK has recently introduced viewing 
and export functionality for previous statements.  Unfortunatley, the 
format the data is exported in doesn't seem to work with gnucash - they 
claim its 'qif', but there seems to be a load of unicode junk in the 
file, and its of type 'CCard' as opposed to 'Bank'.  Needless to say, 
the import fails.

I'm happy to provide an actual sample file to anyone offlist.

Has anyone else had trouble with this?

Best regards,
Damian
