Account balance 0 after QIF Import

[Derek Atkins]

This is an FAQ.
The answer is in the Archives.

In short, there is a bug in qif-file.scm -- you need to change th regex
that says \.\.\. to \\.\\.\\.

Now my problem of not being able to import because of split transactions is gone, but after I import my QIF file, the accounts show up with all of the transactions, but there are no dollar amounts in the transactions and the account balance is zero.  The only accounts to have a non-zero balance is my stocks which seemed to have come over OK.  I was importing from a Quicken 2001 QIF export.  By the way, thanks for all of your help.
