Convert QIF to CSV

Understanding QIF and CSV file formats

The QIF (Quicken Interchange Format) is a file format used for transferring financial data between different software applications. It is commonly used by personal finance software to import and export financial data. On the other hand, the CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format is a widely-used text file format that stores tabular data, such as spreadsheets or databases, in plain text. Each line in a CSV file represents a data record, and each record consists of one or more fields separated by commas.
