[moneydance] java instead of python script code and, transaction download and matching hooks

[Robert Winter]

Hi,

I have some java code already written that uses the apache poi libraries to
create an excel spreadsheet file from a tab delimited list of transactions
in a text file. Is it possible to interface that code directly to moneydance
and essentially be able to run one command from within Moneydance that
creates the spreadsheet I want?

I'd also like to be able to improve the transaction download parsing. My
bank's transaction information is split between the description field and
the memo field. I want to join those two fields and then do a keyword match
on a list of keywords I create. Is there a callback that would activate a
python function, passing it a transaction object, and receiving a (possibly
changed) transaction object? Could this be expanded to give me more control
on the proposed transaction match (matching a particular existing
transaction or being a new transaction)?

Also, it looks to me like there are situations during transaction download,
where the transaction information gets modified permanently. What I mean is,
when I clicked 'transaction details' for a particular transaction, I wanted
to see the original text information downloaded, but I could only see the
already modified data. I was pretty sure that I had mismatched that
particular transaction, but there was no way to double check.

Thanks,
-Robert
