Hi Jason, I had a look at you test.dat and ran it on Ledger version "Ledger master-0-gca42f2b" compiled from GitHub.
Have you tried separating the account name and value with more than a single space or perhaps a tab? That seemed to work for me. For example: Assets:Bank[TAB]$1000.00 Or Assets:Bank[SPACE][SPACE]$1000.00 Silumesii On 21-Apr-09, at 12:12 AM, Jason White wrote: > > 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.
