Hello, I am just starting to use Ledger, and have created a new data file for it.
(1) Right now, I have dates formatted as "YYYY/MM/DD" in the data file (e.g. 2011/01/17). But when I run Ledger on it it reports "invalid date string" for every line a date appears in the file. Question: What can I do to alleviate this error? Do I have to specify a date format for Ledger somehow? (2) I have entries for my mutual fund and stock investments, like (obviously I've modified the actual values and names): 2004/05/14 * Investment balance assets:brokerage 50 AAPL @ $30.00 equity:opening balances Question: As my shares change in price and/or as I buy/sell shares, what's an easy way for me to enter those events into my Ledger file? Thanks for helping out a newbie.
