Importing non-QIF files

[Henri P Gavin]

Dear GnuCash users:

My bank provides on-line statements in a plain-text format. QIF format
statements are not available from this institution. The checking
account statement looks like:

01/24/2003 Withdrawal MORTGAGE (EQTY ENHNC) -$148.16 $8,888.08
01/24/2003 Deposit EMPLOYER (MONTHLY ) $1,988.27 $9,336.24
01/24/2003 A-XYZ U [P]...Amt: 3988.27 EMPLOYER (MONTHLY )
01/25/2003 Withdrawal @ BOOKSHOP Trace #4714 -$7.12 $2,537.60
01/31/2003 Withdrawal (Item #2698) -$156.00 $7,869.53

Right now I am cutting-and-pasting into Gnucash.  What is the best
automatic way to import this kind of plain-text accout statment?  I
could write a converter to a GnuCash compatible format, if I could see
what the format standard looks like.

Thank you

Henri Gavin
