How do I copy all entries from a gnucash account into the parallel Quicken account?


I've spent the past 3 years using gnucash for my home finance needs, and now I want to switch to Quicken. Is there any way to convert all of those hours of data entry into Quicken?

I'm starting with 2 gnucash files
1) the normally saved file gnucash-becker
2) the exported XML file

It seems the normal file is complete gibberish to all other programs, and I haven't found any converting programs. The XML file kind of converted into the QIF file for Quicken using a Java converting program (GnuchashToQIF.jar), but it truncated most of the accounts and screwed everything up. So, I will create all the accounts by hand in Quicken, then fill them with the gnucash data, one account at a time. The question is:
How do I copy all entries from a gnucash account into the parallel Quicken account?

Thanks all,

The "normal" file is just a gzip'ed version of the XML datafile. I'm not sure what you mean by "exported" XML. gnucash-to-qif is all I was going to recommend, but you already found it ... too bad it doesn't work. Another option might be to write your own conversion script; the XML is a bit sophisticated, but it's not overly complicated, and makes sense when you come to terms with it.
