[GNC] Hamster integration

[David Cousens]

Macho,

The Gnucash CSV importer has a setup section where you can select the separator
character. One of the defaults is tab separation as well as comma and I think
space. You can define any character as the seaparator if you want.

There is a step in which you attach column headers (internal to GnuCash data
designation) and assign them to the columns in the imported data. The help file
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/trans-import.html has detail on
the CSV importing process.  Have no idea what Hamster 's format is but you
should be able to work it out from the above.
