[GNC] TXF export failure with 3.3 and 3.4

[Tim Quinn]

Thanks for the hint.

I tried your suggestion and get the same error, except with the tilde replacing the excl. point in the error message.

After some more searching I see that back in Feb. of 2018 uses of gnucash’s sprintf were converted to guile’s format function. Looking at guile’s format doc it does look like the tilde is necessary to indicate that what follows is a formatting string, so that reinforces what you said.

I also see in taxtxf.scm some uses of “format” as a variable. I have not had a chance yet to see if a “format” variable might be overriding the “format” function in the context at line 590 but I might try that next.

Or if there are other suggestions as to what else I can try…

Thanks.

- Tim
