Error parsing file on OS X

[P S Prem]

Hi Subramanian,

Thanks for the tip.

As suggested, I tried to open older versions of the file.  They also gave 
me the same error.   The oldest version I tried was of 4th Aug.   I 
couldn't open it.  I have used GnuCash many times between 4th Aug and last 
week.  It was working ok. 

Should I try to re-install GnuCash ?

With best regards,

This is just a workaround. 

Can you check if you have an older version of this file which is also the 
latest? 

It should be something like 2013Accounts<TimeStamp><DateStamp>.gnucash 

If you have majority of your entries here, you may rename it to 
2013Accounts.gnucash and re-enter the entries that are missing. 

Please ensure that you save your file every time you quite GnuCash.
