Thanks John, this is definately in the right direction. Still having some
trouble though:
$ cat foo.ledger
= expr account =~ /^Salary:/
; alias: Costs:Taxable:$account
; accountcode: 1234
2013-01-01 payee
Salary:Someone 100 NOK
Cost
$ ledger -f foo.ledger bal --account=alias
While evaluating value expression:
alias
^^^^^
While handling posting from "foo.ledger", line 7:
> Salary:Someone 100 NOK
Error: Unknown identifier 'alias'
$ ledger -f foo.ledger bal
-100 NOK Cost
100 NOK Salary:Someone
--------------------
--account=alias throws an error, and without it nothing happens - any idea
what I'm doing wrong?
