Quicken Interchange Format - Data Format

Data Format

A QIF file typically has the following structure:

!Type:type identifier string
Literal String Data
...
^
Literal String Data
...
^

Each record is ended with a ^ (caret). All the data in the file is stored in ASCII strings, and the file could be edited in any text editor.

simple example
!Type:Bank D03/03/10 T-379.00 PCITY OF SPRINGFIELD ^ D03/04/10 T-20.28 PYOUR LOCAL SUPERMARKET ^ D03/03/10 T-421.35 PSPRINGFIELD WATER UTILITY ^

etc.

Famous quotes containing the word data:

    “This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
