Hi,
After doing bean-query foo.beancount to enter the interactive session,
can I somehow copy-paste multiple lines in there?
It seems like multi-line queries (e.g. the examples in the
documentation), when pasted in there, always get split into one command
per line, resulting in errors.
Do I always have to combine those lines first, before pasting them?
Multi-line input is not currently supported by bean-query. The
interactive interpreter is based on the cmd Python standard library
module, which is a line based command interpreter.
Using a semicolon as query terminator instead of a newline should be
possible (the Python REPL supports multi-line input statements, thus the
functionality is there, somewhere) but it would require moving from a
very simple REPL to something that uses a much more fancy parser.
I had investigating this on my TODO list for a long time, but I haven't
had the time to look into it yet.
Cheers,
Dan
