 ## The rules file
 By default, BunyMuny checks for rules in `rules.json` in the current directory. An example rules file might look like this:
-```json
+```csv
-[
+Match,Value,Category,Description,CaseSensitive
-   {
+Start,Purchase Cash Converters,Personal,Cashies,true
-     "Match":"Start",
-     "Value": "Purchase Cash Converters",
-     "Category":"Personal",
-     "Description":"Cashies"
-   }
-]
 ```
-This means that any statement that starts with "Purchase Cash Converters" will be assigned the category "Personal", and the description "Cashies".
+This means that any statement that starts with "Purchase Cash Converters" (case sensitive) will be assigned the category "Personal", and the description "Cashies".
