Thanks. That didn't work as is with 3.0.0-20110325 but it did lead me
to the following, which does seem to work.
= /^Asset:Shares/
(Virtual Account) ($1 * amount * P(1 Units))
I think the reason that your version didn't work is that "= /
^Asset:Checking/&p/Buying Shares/" doesn't seem to match anything.
Looking through the archives it seems that the syntax has changed. I
tried
= expr account =~ /^Asset:Checking/ & payee =~ /^Buying Shares/
(Temp) 1
but that seems to match *everything*. IS that a bug in ledger or me
not understanding the syntax? Is the new syntax documented anywhere?
