The account number corresponds to the account in .Pa ./accounts.txt for the imported account. .Ss Patterns in the import_bankFormat.txt files Each file contains lines of the form .Pp .Ar selector account_number booking_identifier .Sh EXIT STATUS .Ex -std .Sh EXAMPLES Add journal entries to a journal file using a CSV file generated by a financial institution: .Pp .Dl "$ pta_import -I chase_credit chasedownload.csv >> journal.txt" .Ss A sample credit card purchase Suppose a line in the .Pa chasedownload.csv file looks like .Pp .Dl "10/26/2020,10/26/2020,example.com*asldfkj,Shopping,Sale,-17.07" .Pp If the line matching the .Qq Shopping category in the user's .Pa ./import_chase_credit.txt file is .Pp .Dl ,,,Shopping,,, 9996 SHOP .Pp then the .Qq Shopping category defined by Chase is mapped to the user's .Qq SHOP booking identifier, and the user's account for shopping expenses is defined as .Qq 9996 in their .Pa ./accounts.txt . .Pp We further assume in this example that the user has edited .Pa ./import_chase_credit.txt so that the line beginning with .Qq ACCOUNT contains the liability account they have defined for their Chase card in .Pa ./accounts.txt .Pp In this example, .Pa ./import_chase_credit.txt contains .Dl ACCOUNT 3234 .Pp Then .Nm prints .Pp .Dl "20201026 SHOP 9996 3234 17.07 example.com*asldfkj" .Ss A sample credit card payment .Dl "10/27/2020,10/27/2020,Payment Thank You - Web,,Payment,1653.42" .Pp Suppose the user's .Pa ./import_chase_credit.txt file contains .Pp .Dl ,,,,Payment,, 1700 PAY .Pp which matches Chase's payment category to the user's asset account .Qq 1700 used to pay off the credit card. Then .Nm prints .Pp .Dl "20201027 PAY 3234 1700 1653.2 Payment Thank You - Web" .Ss Account numbers in the import_bankFormat.txt files For example, if .Pa ./import_capital_one_credit.txt contains .Pp .Dl ACCOUNT 1293 .Pp then there must be a corresponding entry in .Pa ./accounts.txt such as .Dl 1293 L Capital One credit card .Pp The description .Qq Capital One credit card may vary, but in this example, the account numbers .Qq 1293 match, and the account type is .Qq L to indicate that it is a liability account. .Ss Patterns in the import_bankFormat.txt files Suppose .Dl ,,,Automotive,,, 1111 AUTO .Pp is a sample entry in the .Pa ./import_chase_credit.txt file which uses headers of the form .Pp .Dl Transaction Date,Post Date,Description,Category,Type,Amount .Pp Then this .Ar selector ignores the transaction date, post date, description, type, and amount. It matches the .Qq Automotive category and maps transactions to account .Qq 1111 defined in .Pa ./accounts.txt with the .Qq Auto booking identifier. .Ss A complete example Suppose .Pa ./accounts.txt is given by .Bd -literal 1700 A My Bank 3234 L My Chase Credit Card 5102 X Physician expenses 5103 X Dental expenses 5203 X Shopping .Ed .Pp and .Pa chasedownload.csv is given by .Bd -literal Transaction Date,Post Date,Description,Category,Type,Amount,Memo 11/06/2020,11/09/2020,Dr. Joseph Schmoe,Health & Wellness,Sale,-100.00, 11/06/2020,11/09/2020,Dr. Sally Sue,Health & Wellness,Sale,-183.00, 11/08/2020,11/08/2020,example.com,Shopping,Sale,-53.83, 11/04/2020,11/04/2020,Payment Thank You - Web,,Payment,75.43, .Ed .Pp and .Pa ./import_chase_credit.txt is given by .Bd -literal # Chase credit card header is # Transaction Date,Post Date,Description,Category,Type,Amount # The format of this file is # selector account_number booking_identifier # selector is a comma-separated list of regular expressions which # matches corresponding fields in the CSV file ACCOUNT 3234 ,,,Automotive,,, 1111 AUTO ,,,Bills & Utilities,,, 2222 BILLS ,,,Fees & Adjustments,,, 3333 FEES ,,,Food & Drink,,, 4444 FOOD ,,,Gas,,, 5555 GAS ,,,Gifts & Donations,,, 6666 GIFTS ,,,Groceries,,, 7777 GROCERIES ,,Dr. Sally Sue,,,, 5103 DENTAL ,,,Health & Wellness,,, 5102 PHYSICIAN ,,,Home,,, 9999 HOME ,,,Personal,,, 9998 PERSONAL ,,,Professional Services,,, 9997 PRO ,,,Shopping,,, 5203 SHOP ,,,,Payment,, 1700 PAY .Ed .Pp Then .Dl pta_import -I chase_credit chasedownload.csv outputs .Bd -literal 20201109 PHYSICIAN 5102 3234 100.00 Dr. Joseph Schmoe 20201109 DENTAL 5103 3234 183.00 Dr. Sally Sue 20201108 SHOP 5203 3234 53.83 example.com 20201104 PAY 3234 1700 75.43 Payment Thank You - Web .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr pta-accounts 5 , .Xr pta-journal 5 , .Xr pta-glossary 7 .Sh BUGS Currently, .Nm has the following limitations: .Bl -dash .It Pattern recognition in the .Pa import_bankFormat.txt files is under continued development. .It The only defined import formats are for Chase credit cards, Capital One credit cards, and Optum Health Savings Accounts. .It Note that the first pattern match wins in .Pa ./import_bankFormat.txt . In the complete example above, we put the line containing .Qq Dr. Sally Sue before the line matching the .Qq Health & Wellness category because we wanted to override the .Qq Health & Wellness category, and use the .Qq Dental expenses account instead. .El
