Converting CSV format to QIF

[Tom McAuliffe]

One of my financial institutions provides transaction files only in CSV format and I'd like to convert them to QIF to import into Gnucash. Does anyone know of a conversion tool that doesn't require an in depth knowledge of scripting? I went to the Gnucash Wiki at

http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_convert_from_CSV.2C_TSV.2C_XLS_.28Excel.29.2C_or_SXC_.28OpenOffice.org_Calc.29_to_a_QIF.3F

and explored a number of references, but had no luck. The text describes a shell script using awk, but I have no idea what it's talking about. The CALC2QIF macro seemed buggy and also didn't have enough flexibility to accommodate the format of my institution - which is an investment entity, not a bank. I found several other online converters which seem to work fine if the format fields are very simple (e.g. date/credit/debit) but have no ability to accommodate more complex formats.

Is there anything out there I missed? Or is there a good source for picking up enough background to try one of the scripting solutions? I'm on Mac Snow Leopard and technically proficient but have never done any scripting. 

Thanks,
