Parser only works if CSV file uses $ as the currency symbol. Need to be able to specify own currency

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I have a CSV file in the following format:

---
"Date","Transaction type","Description","Paid out","Paid in","Balance"
"02 Apr 2012","Direct debit","TV LICENCE MBP","£12.12","","£4581.58"

---

Note the currency symbol = £

When I create my own custom reader, the parser can't parse my file and reports:

File Reader Format: Format not recognized
Date Format: Date format not recognized    

This is because of the use of £ instead of $ for the currency.  As soon as I 
change the £ to $ in my CSV, it works successfully.  It also works if I remove 
the $ (expected given the default if one isn't set is $).

The customReaderDialog has the option to specify your own currency value, 
however it is disabled so you can't set it directly.  

Modifying the AmountCurrencyChar line in the 
${HOME}/.moneydance/mdcsvimporter.props file (change it from 36 to 163) has no 
effect either. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The plugin should allow one to specify their own currency symbol.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Beta 15.7.5 in MoneyDance 2011r2 (803) on OS X 10.7.4

Please provide any additional information below.

Yes, the option to specify your own currency value is disabled.
It is a future planned, when I have time to finish it, enhancement.

I finally fixed this one. I skip leading non-digits to skip currency symbols so 
non $ signs will work. Get 15.7.10.zip
