Fwd: problems importing visa credit account .qif files: FIXED

[Kiko Barahona]

Hi,
I opened them .qif files with TextWrangler in order to compare them, 
this is what was different:
Each entry has a date, in the good qif file (the one that imported no 
problem) the format is:

D10/7/2005

that's for Oct. the 7th 2005, what that D means, I don't know. The visa 
qif file that wouldn't import was formatted as:

M10/7/2005

I did a search and replace to turn those pesky M's into goodie D's, and 
presto, the file loaded OK.
As to what the Ms and Ds mean (day, month?) maybe somebody else can 
throw some light on this. The dates appear correct once in gnucash when 
compared with the online statement.
Thanks

Enrique
