GnuCash statistics

[Cristian Marchi]

Bob, your script worked great! thank you very much!

I've now a script that downloads a json file for each release of GnuCash 
in the 2.4 series with data from 2010-11-01 to 2012-11-30. It is like this:

for i in {0..11}; do wget 
"http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20%28stable%29/2.4.$i/stats/json?start_date=2010-11-01&end_date=2012-11-30" 
-O gnucash2.4.$i.json; done

I can then convert each json file to a csv file with your script so that 
I can copy-paste data in a single spreadsheet to generate the graph.

In order to make the process more automatic, would it be possible to 
create a csv file with only ["downloads"] data ordered as shown in the 
attached downloads.csv file?

Regards
Cristian
