Handling different QIF formats
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Default matching method performs search on the payee field
(see :ref:`mastering-keywords`).
The QIF file you process may have this payee information located in another
field like *memo* for example. In such a case it's preferable to pre-process
your file by converting *memo* lines to *payee* lines by switching the line
identifier.
*sed* is a good candidate for that task ::

sed -i 's/^M/P/' my_file.qif
