Please describe the problem:
I've been using Quicken 4 since 1996 but was never able to migrate off to a newer tool. I have finally taken the time to investigate why I could never load the QIF files into GnuCash and have discovered the following formatting problems:

Dates:
D10.25'04
Amounts:
T-5'197.65
$-2'385.85

I fixed this with this trivial Perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

open(IN, "<FILE.QIF");
open(OUT, ">outfile.qif");

while ( my $line = <IN> ) {
	if ( $line =~ /^D/ ) {
		$line =~ s/'/.20/;
	}
	if ( $line =~ /^T/ ) {
		$line =~ s/'//;
	}
	if ( $line =~ /^\$/ ) {
		$line =~ s/'//;
	}
	print OUT $line;
}

close(OUT);
close(IN);

It would be nice for the next persons (if there are any with such an old Quicken) to have the import be more tolerant about the apostrophes.



Steps to reproduce:
Generate a QIF export file from Quicken 4 or hack any of the D, T or $ tags with a apostrophes.


Actual results:
You get an import error

Expected results:
The import should understand the apostrophes

Does this happen every time?
Only for Dates in > 1999, Amounts > 999.99
