   .Ss Configuration file format
   Each file of the form
   .Pa import_ Ns Ar accountname Ns Pa .txt
   in the current directory is a configuration file used to
   import transactions from a financial institution.
   Like all
   .Xr pta 1
   input files, it is an
   .Xr ascii 7
   text file using strings of one or more space characters
   as the field delimiter and using the hash character
   .Pq Sq #
   in the first column to mark lines as ignored.
   .Pp
   Each file contains one line beginning with
   .Qq ACCOUNT
   and is followed by whitespace and then an account number.
   .Pp
   Each file contains lines of the form
   .Pp
   .Ar selector account_number booking_identifier
   .Pp
   The
   .Ar selector
   is a string consisting of regular expressions
   separated by commas.
   Its fields correspond to header fields in the financial
   institution's CSV file and is used to classify transactions
   that match the search pattern.
   The first selector that
   matches a transaction wins.
   .Pp
   The
   .Ar account_number
   corresponds to an account number in
   .Pa ./accounts.txt .
   The
   .Ar booking_identifier
   is defined by the user to classify
   the transaction.

   used by this account, as well as patterns used to map transactions to
   the correct account and booking identifier.

   these transactions as Health & Wellness.
