[moneydance] getting categories from previous transactions

[Jeff Macdonald]

I thought 2007 would of solved this, but categories matching from previous
transactions are not matched at all. For example:

SHAW'S SUPERMA 01/16 #000988600

I of course put personal:groceries. Another shopping trip and

SHAW'S SUPERMA 03/21 #000111211

I once again have to put personal:groceries

this gets old pretty fast.

I suppose there are some businesses with that have numbers in them, but I
imagine the majority of entries use words or have at least a word or two, so
why not have MoneyDance simply scrub numbers and create indexes based on
alpha words. Something like this: (code in perl)

$description=~s/\d+//g;
category_index($chosen_category,$description);
