output arguments:
converted_file        destination file ('-' for stdout)
-f {csv,dbf,homebank,html,jira,json,latex,ods,ofx,ofx1,rst,tsv,xls,xlsx,yaml}, --format {csv,dbf,homebank,html,jira,json,latex,ods,ofx,ofx1,rst,tsv,xls,xlsx,yaml}
                        format of the output file (default: ofx)
-E OUTPUT_ENCODING, --output-encoding OUTPUT_ENCODING
                        set the output encoding (default: utf-8)

Examples

  • Converting to OFX format:

    $ csb2format transactions.csb transactions.ofx

$ csb2format --format ofx transactions.csb transactions.ofx

    or

    $ csb2format transactions.csb - > transactions.ofx

    From another app to file

    $ get_my_CSB_transactions | csb2format - transactions.ofx

  • Converting to XLSX spreadsheet format:

    $ csb2format --format xlsx transactions.csb transactions.xlsx

  • Using cp850 as the input encoding:

    $ csb2format --encoding cp850 --format xlsx transactions.csb transactions.xlsx

Spreadsheets

ODS, XLS and XLSX files are generated as books, with the first sheet containing the accounts information, and the subsequent sheets containing the transactions of each one of the accounts.

From code

Parse a CSB43 file and print the equivalent OFX file

# OFX
from csb43.ofx import converter as ofx_converter
from csb43.aeb43 import read_batch

with open("movimientos.csb", "rb") as fd:
    batch = read_batch(fd)

# print to stdout
print(ofx_converter.convert_from_aeb43(batch))

Parse a CSB43 file and print the equivalent in a tabular or dictionary-like file format

from csb43 import read_batch, formats

with open("movimientos.csb", "rb") as fd:
    batch = read_batch(fd)

# print 'yaml' format to stdout
o = formats.convert_from_aeb43(batch, 'yaml')
print(o.yaml)

# write 'xlsx' format to file
o = formats.convert_from_aeb43(batch, 'xlsx')
with open("movimientos.xlsx", "wb") as f:
    f.write(o.xlsx)

Build an AEB43 with a custom context:

import dataclasses
from csb43 import read_batch, get_current_context

# custom context
ctx = dataclasses.replace(get_current_context(), strict=True)
with open("movimientos.csb", "rb") as fd:
    batch = read_batch(fd, context=context)

# scoped context
with get_current_context().scoped(strict=True):
    with open("movimientos.csb", "rb") as fd:
        batch = read_batch(fd)
