Qif Categories

QIF Categories converts Quicken Interchange Format (QIF) banking or credit card transaction files, adding Quicken categories based on the description of each transaction. It is useful for converting QIF downloaded from online banking or credit card web sites before importing them into Quicken. To convert a QIF file, just drop it onto QIF Categories. You can configure QIF Categories as a browser helper application for files of type application/qif to have it invoked automatically on downloaded QIF files. QIF Categories converts each transaction in the QIF file dropped on it by: 1) Deleting any existing category; 2) Adding a category associated with the transaction's description, or getting the category from the user if none is associated; 3) removing the plus sign from transaction amounts (because not all versions of Quicken allow plus signs); 4) optionally adding an indication that the transaction has cleared; 5) optionally extracting a check number from the description (unless the transaction already has a check number); 6) optionally changing the description and category to values associated with the combination of the original description and the amount; and 7) transferring all other parts of each transaction to the output file. You can convert the input file in place or choose a different output filename. System requirements: * System 7 through 8.6; not tested with MacOS 9, but should work
