OK, I guess I'll have to live with that. I was hoping for something
more customizable since some (stupid) merchants put unique things in
descriptions, for example my bank describes ATM withdrawls as
"ATM/123 Main Banch 1201 O" where 1201 is the month/day; no idea
about the O at the end. Maybe I'll try to run the data through sed
first and strip that out before importing.
