I just started using Ledger (2.6.2, as packaged in Debian 'testing').
I imported data from a GnuCash 2.2.9 file, and the resulting ledger
has "!" marks in unexpected places. For example:
2008/07/01 CHECK CARD REWARDS ANNUAL FEE
Unspecified $25.00
! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account
2008/07/07 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE FEE - NO ONL
Unspecified $2.50
! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account
2008/08/06 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE FEE - NO ONL
Unspecified $2.50
! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account
2008/08/12 BANK BY MAIL DEPOSIT
! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account $120.00
Income:Donations:Restricted
A great many of my entries have a "!" on one line or the other (it
seems never both, though).
The manual at http://joyful.com/repos/ledger/doc/ledger.html talks a
little bit about "!" (in section 2.1), but that explanation appears to
apply only to the first line -- it doesn't explain what "!" might
mean in the positions where I'm seeing it. Note that I also see "*"
in a similar position sometimes, which indicates that these really are
the pending/cleared markers described in section 2.1... perhaps they
were just misplaced by the import process?
Any hints welcome.
