Hope you're doing better by now.

I think, here the kmymoneyrc file is meant. It carries the settings for the
online quotes. An overview can be obtained with

  % grep Online-Quote ~/.config/kmymoney/kmymoneyrc

which will print out the sections you have in KMyMoney 5.x. In KMyMoney 4.x
you can find them with

  % grep Online-Quote ~/.kde4/share/config/kmymoneyrc


Two examples

KMyMoney 4.x
------------
[Online-Quote-Source-boerseonline]
DateFormatRegex=%d.%m.%y
DateRegex=Datum.(\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+)
PriceRegex=Akt\\. Kurs.([\\d\\.]+,\\d\\d)
SymbolRegex=
URL=http://www.boerse-online.de/tools/boerse/einzelkurs_kurse.htm?&s=%1

[Online-Quote-Source-Financial Express]
DateFormatRegex=%d/%m/%y
DateRegex=Price Date[^0-9]*(../../....).*
PriceRegex=Current Market Information[^0-9]*([0-9,\\.]+).*
SymbolRegex=ISIN Code[^G]*(GB..........).*
URL=https://webfund6.financialexpress.net/Clients/Barclays/search_factsheet_summary.aspx?code=%1

KMyMoney 5.x
------------
[Online-Quote-Source-boerseonline]
DateFormatRegex=%d.%m.%y
DateRegex=Datum.(\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+)
IDRegex=
PriceRegex=Akt\\. Kurs.([\\d\\.]+,\\d\\d)
URL=http://www.boerse-online.de/tools/boerse/einzelkurs_kurse.htm?&s=%1

[Online-Quote-Source-Financial Express]
DateFormatRegex=%d/%m/%y
DateRegex=Price Date[^0-9]*(../../....).*
IDRegex=ISIN Code[^G]*(GB..........).*
PriceRegex=Current Market Information[^0-9]*([0-9,\\.]+).*
URL=https://webfund6.financialexpress.net/Clients/Barclays/search_factsheet_summary.aspx?code=%1


The settings (and we look at KMyMoney 5.x only in this project) shall be made available
to the user as they are. A user may have added specific entries or adjusted some to his
needs. These changes shall be kept as they are when KMyMoney uses the LibAlkimia
functionality.
