[GNC] Credit card account with two cards

[David Carlson]

Zacharie,

I have a bank account with two debit cards that have different card
numbers.  In my case the bank does not separate the transactions by card
number in the monthly statement, but the last four digits of the card
number is in their description field which maps into the GnuCash Notes
field during the import.  I am not sure how I could separate them before or
during the import, but at least there is a property which differentiates
them.

I think that I could do a find based on one of the numbers after the import
to temporarily separate them in the find results, then move one set to the
other sub-account before proceeding to the reconciliation step.  Perhaps
you could do something similar.
