No. It is possible to export your account tree structure without values
to a gnucash formatted (XML) file, but that is the only format (and data
export) supported at this stage.

I vaguely recall seeing some comments from people about having developed
perl scripts that work directly on gnucash files - you may be able to
find such a script that will convert to a suitable format for you
perhaps, or convince someone to write such a thing for you. Note that
this is not a recommended way of dealing with your data file, and you're
strongly encouraged to only use such things on a copy of your datafile
if you do decide to pursue that line.

I'm afraid that isn't much help.

Conrad.
