Well, I was saying that "-%" did work for me using 'balance',
but the --format example did not... So am I doing something
wrong with this example entry below?
$ cat test.txt
= expr ( commodity == 'VTHRX' )
(Allocation:Equities:Global) 0.240
(Allocation:Equities:Domestic) 0.563
(Allocation:Bonds/Cash) 0.197
2012-01-01 * Fidelity - 403b Contributions
Assets:403b:Fidelity:VTHRX 10.000 VTHRX @@ $1,000.00
Assets:403b:SCRP
So I can get a balance:
$ ledger -f test.txt balance Allocation -X '$'
$1000 Allocation
$197 Bonds/Cash
$803 Equities
$563 Domestic
$240 Global
--------------------
$1000
And I can get a percentage breakdown:
$ ledger -f test.txt balance Allocation -X '$' -%
100.00% Allocation
19.70% Bonds/Cash
80.30% Equities
70.11% Domestic
29.89% Global
But the format example doesn't like parent.total:
$ ledger -f test.txt balance Allocation --current --format "\
%-17((depth_spacer)+(partial_account))\
%10(percent(market(display_total),
market(parent.total)))\
%16(market(display_total))\n"
While calculating format expression:
percent(market(display_total), market((parent.total)))
While evaluating value expression:
percent(market(display_total), market((parent.total)))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
While calling function 'market <#EXPR (parent.total)>':
While calling function 'percent (<#EXPR market(display_total)>, <#EXPR
market((parent.total))>)':
Error: Left operand does not evaluate to an object
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious!
Jim
