Cahoot Credit Card

Another online credit card that gives you a statement but no way of downloading it. How difficult is it to add that function? Anyway until they do here is a program to convert the Cahoot HTML pages into either QIF or OFX format

To use the script:
  • Log onto the Cahoot web site, and select the statement you want to convert, display the printer friendly version
  • In your browser save the current page to a file. You sometimes need to do "view source" and save that version. You'll end up with a file, lets say cahoot.html
  • Make sure you have a perl interpreter on your system. If you're using Linux or other Unix you'll most likely have perl installed. If you're using Windows you'll need to get Perl from someone like ActiveState and figure out the command line stuff
  • Run 
    perl 2ofx.pl cahoot.html > cahoot.qif
  • Use "Import" in Microsoft Money to load in cahoot.qif
