These are fantastic! A nice way to port ledger around in your pocket, without needing to write up a full UI.
I've taken the liberty of re-writing them to use 'case' instead of a sequence of if statements: ----- #!/bin/sh # script to # accept input: # * amount # * account # * note # output: # * ledger format text # automatically includes date and source account (wallet) # fname='wallet.ledger' if [ -z "$2" ]; then echo "usage: $0 amount account [note]" exit 255 fi case "$2" in "d") account='expenses:simon:drinks' ;; "g") account='expenses:simon:gift' ;; "f") account="expenses:simon:food" ;; "o") account='expenses:simon:transportation:oil' ;; "p") account='expenses:simon:transportation::parking' ;; "t") account='expenses:simon:telecom' ;; esac echo `date +%Y/%m/%d` ' ' $3 >> $fname echo ' ' $account ' ' $1 >> $fname echo ' assets:cash:wallet' >> $fname echo >> $fname fi ---- P.S. +1 for using cash everywhere.
