John,
I have a few standard queries that I run using ledger 2.x that are
currently broken in Ledger 3.0. I updated to the very latest git this
afternoon before sending this e-mail to make sure I had your latest
changes.
1) I have a script called all_accounts_report.sh [1] that iterates
through all children of a given account and runs the specified
query using my monthly_reports.py [2] script. I use this to get the
monthly balance for each of my asset accounts individually, for example.
To get a list of all of the subaccounts, I use this query (for example):
ledger -F "%A\n" -d "l>=2" bal "Assets"
Ledger 3.0 doesn't like the -d argument, giving me this error:
While evaluating value expression:
((l >= 2) & (l >= 2))
^
Error: Unknown identifier 'l'
Is this a feature not yet supported or has the means of doing this
changed? I honestly don't remember what the l stands for in ledger 2.x,
this is just the query I had written down that I used.
This is the output I'm expecting:
na...@taleswapper:~/Source/ledger/ledger-2.6$ ./ledger -F "%A\n" -d "l>=2" -s
-n bal "Assets"
Assets:Cash
Assets:Checking
Assets:Education Savings
Assets:Travel Savings
Actually, I believe this is my only bug so far, since the -E bug was
fixed earlier this week.
2) This one isn't a bug, more so a feature-request. I'd like to have a
query that gives me the total amount I paidd off on my Liabilities in a
given month. I've been using this query:
ledger -p "this month" -l "a>0" -n bal "Liabilities"
Actually, for some reason, this isn't seeming to even work at all any
more. What it was giving me was the total paid towards liabilities in a
given month. However, it didn't completely reflect what I want, because
it would get cases where I did a balance transfer. So perhaps the
balance of a given Liability might have changed, but the total
Liability balance did not change within that entry. Is there a way for
me to say "Show me the the total of all transactions within this period
that reduced the total Liabilities balance"?
Thanks again for your great work John!
