Convert GSB to CSV

Understanding gsb and csv file formats

GSB files are primarily associated with Grisbi, a free personal finance management software. These files store financial data such as transactions, accounts, and categories in a structured format specific to Grisbi. On the other hand, CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a widely used plain text format for tabular data, compatible with spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and many financial tools.
