Reckon automagically converts CSV files for use with the command-line accounting tool Ledger. It also helps you to select the correct accounts associated with the CSV data using Bayesian machine learning.
Assuming you have Ruby and Rubygems installed on your system, simply run
(sudo) gem install reckon
First, login to your bank and export your transaction data as a CSV file.
To see how the CSV parses:
reckon -f bank.csv -p
If your CSV file has a header on the first line, include --contains-header.
To convert to ledger format and label everything, do:
reckon -f bank.csv -o output.dat
To have reckon learn from an existing ledger file, provide it with -l:
reckon -f bank.csv -l 2010.dat -o output.dat
Learn more:
> reckon -h
Usage: Reckon.rb [options]
-f, --file FILE The CSV file to parse
-v, --[no-]verbose Run verbosely
-p, --print-table Print out the parsed CSV in table form
-o, --output-file FILE The ledger file to append to
-l, --learn-from FILE An existing ledger file to learn accounts from
--ignore-columns 1,2,5
Columns to ignore in the CSV file - the first column is column 1
--contains-header
The first row of the CSV is a header and should be skipped
--csv-separator ','
Separator for parsing the CSV - default is comma.
--comma-separates-cents
Use comma instead of period to deliminate dollars from cents when parsing ($100,50 instead of $100.50)

--version Show version
If you find CSV files that it can't parse, send me examples or pull requests!
- Fork the project.
- Make your feature addition or bug fix.
- Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
- Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
