Having browsed the documentation and installed Ledger 2.6.1 from the Debian package, I wrote the following short test file.
2009/04/21 * Bank account balance Assets:Bank $1000.00 Equity:Opening Balances 2009/04/21 * Restaurant bill Expenses:Dining $25.00 Assets:Bank which I saved as test.dat. I then ran ledger -f test.dat balance which gave no output and an exit status of 0. Suggestions would be appreciated. I would have expected either a report or a syntax error of some sort.
