I just want to share this quick tip because I have been using ledger for several years and used to reconcile my accounts by keeping open a "watch ledger -f file bal Acct:checking" terminal window. My new method, which makes things much easier and quicker, is to keep at least 3 terminal windows open on my desktop: one to edit the data file, one running the command: watch " ledger -f im.dat -C reg Acct:checking | tail -n16 ", and one running the command: watch " ledger -f im.dat -U reg Acct:checking | tail -n16 ". The double quotes above are necessary to allow the "watch" command to apply to the "tail" pipe (no pun intended). This allows me to see all of my recent reconciled transactions and usually all of my unreconciled transactions for any particular account. You can substitute your account of interest for Acct:checking obviously. You are shown a running balance for the account as well. Please note that I am using version 2.6. I know I am overdue to upgrade. P.S. Kudos to the developer of this beautiful application. -Abner Gershon |

Hallo, I am a complete newbie to ledger. My ledger.dat is the result of reading my gnucash data file as described at http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ledger-CLI The journal entries are not in chronological order. I would like to order this input and have not found whether nor how I could request ledger to do that for me. Please advise, Guido |

In my home brew accounting stuff I make myself explicitly mark an open and then later close of an account, so I can't accidentally post to old accounts if cutting and pasting. Does ledger have a similar thing? I know it's a feature of ledger just to use an account name without pre-declaring, but I wondered if there was an option to be more restrictive. A deliberate close makes some sense for an asset account which shouldn't be touched once sold etc. I also do each tax year's numbers in their own accounts, to be closed and not touched again once finalized. Dunno if an accountant would approve. :-) |

Tell me about it. Batch-processing in GnuCash is so painful and
tedious. I've been using ledger for over 5 years now and it just makes
data entry so much easier. One of these days I have to go an actually
balance my accounts :)
I haven't kept up much with how subversion is progressing, but I still
use it all the time! I hope things are going well over there.

P.S. I'm about to go into batch-entry mode soon, which means I'll be on
#ledger a lot more. Perhap I'll run into you over there :)

I just started using Ledger (2.6.2, as packaged in Debian 'testing').
I imported data from a GnuCash 2.2.9 file, and the resulting ledger
has "!" marks in unexpected places. For example:
2008/07/01 CHECK CARD REWARDS ANNUAL FEE
Unspecified $25.00
! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account
2008/07/07 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE FEE - NO ONL
Unspecified $2.50
! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account
2008/08/06 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE FEE - NO ONL
Unspecified $2.50
! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account
2008/08/12 BANK BY MAIL DEPOSIT
! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account $120.00
Income:Donations:Restricted
A great many of my entries have a "!" on one line or the other (it
seems never both, though).
The manual at http://joyful.com/repos/ledger/doc/ledger.html talks a
little bit about "!" (in section 2.1), but that explanation appears to
apply only to the first line -- it doesn't explain what "!" might
mean in the positions where I'm seeing it. Note that I also see "*"
in a similar position sometimes, which indicates that these really are
the pending/cleared markers described in section 2.1... perhaps they
were just misplaced by the import process?
Any hints welcome.
-Karl

Hi, I discovered the solution for the second question. It was my fault. The syntax I was using was wrong. The correct is: ledger --format "%........" reg The " " was missing. I still don't have a solution for the first question.

Hello,
I have 2 questions.
First question
Why the command "ledger -A -s bal carro" generate correct average
values for the children accounts but generates half of I expected
value for the parents accounts.
Example:
The result of the command "ledger -A reg carro"
2007/01/10 ar do carro 3/3 despesas:carro:oficina $611.58 $611.58
2007/01/17 gasolina despesas:carro:gasol.. $97.00
$354.29
2007/01/19 despesas despesas:carro:estac.. $9.00
$239.19
2007/01/21 despesas despesas:carro:estac.. $3.00
$180.15
So, I understand that $180.15 is the correct average value for the
account despesas:carro.
Now, the result of the command "ledger -A -s bal carro"
$90.07 despesas:carro
$6.00 estacionamento
$97.00 gasolina
$611.58 oficina
--------------------
$90.07
$90.07 is half of $180.17 which is what I expected as correct result.
Can some one, please, explain me this result.
Second question
I am no able to use format strings through the command line but, If I
put --format options in the file .ledgerrc everything works perfectly.
I would like to use the --format options through the command line.
My ledger version is 2.5
Thanks a lot for any help
Carlos

There are a few cache bugs that I enounter on my Linux/PPC machine with `ledger' 2.5. (1) ledger 2.5 release seldom updates the cache correctly, even after modifying the ledger.dat file. The reported balances remain the same. Removing the cache file and running again solves the issue. 2.5 cvs does not appear to have this issue. I could not determine if this was big-endian CPU architecture specific. (2) ledger 2.5 release and 2.5 cvs, on any CPU architecture, both have an issue with --no-cache (whether placed in ~/.ledgerrc or set in the environment). If ledger is run with --no-cache in the rc file, then the program creates a cache file in the PWD with the name '<none>' (omitting quotes). Ledger appears to handle --no-cache correctly on the command line, but not when configured via the rc file or environment. -timotheus |

Hi John, all, Being a avid Emacs user myself, I got carried away not long ago and wrote additional Emacs functionality for authoring tidy `ledger' entries. Assuming you have `ledger.el' from CVS, the following library adds some indentation support, font-lock, hippie completion, justification, and other miscellanea. http://tstotts.net/pubvc.co/elisp-snippets/ledger-indent.el The code was writen with the current GNU Emacs CVS head, but don't see any reason that it would not work with Emacs 21. -timotheus |

You'll have to set your CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, like this: ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I..." LDFLAGS="-L..." Even though you have the libraries installed, they are not in a standard directory where configure can find them. John |

I've got the prce & gmp library/development packages installed, but it
doesn't seem like ./configure is finding them:
configure.in: AC_MSG_FAILURE("Could not find gmp library (set CPPFLAGS and LDFL
AGS?)")
configure.in: AC_MSG_FAILURE("Could not find pcre library (set CPPFLAGS and LDF
LAGS?)")
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
