Re: [Ledger-discuss] Average balance & Format Strings

[<car...@gm...>]

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.

Thanks
Carlos
