[Klug-general] bank statement converter

[James Morris]

i've been working on a bank statement converter. it only works for hsbc
personal statements (download by print-to-file as pdf) and natwest personal
pdf statements. it needs pdftotext (provided by xpdf iirc) to convert the
pdf to... surprise surprise... text... before it can do anything at all. it
will output a statement to QIF format, and auto categorize transactions
based on regexs on the transaction description. categories and regexs to
match them are specified in a separate file. it has localization issues for
sure. there's probably other problems you'll find like... it won't work for
your bank or something. likely.

it's a command line tool, written in C, and available from github:
https://github.com/jwm-art-net/statement_process

btw, i've never used finance software before.
