Hi,
I am using 'ledger print' to cleanup/format/sort my journal file. It mostly
works fine, but I am tracking my use of hourly rented cars (think Zipcar in
the US, known as Mobility in Switzerland). These are charged by hour and by
mileage. A typical transaction looks like this:
2014/01/30 * (16785024) Courses
; car_type: economy
Expenses:Transports:Mobility 27 km @ 0.64 CHF
Expenses:Transports:Mobility 3.5 h @ 2.80 CHF
Credit:Mobility -27.08 CHF
Rounding:Mobility
Now if I run this through 'ledger print', it ends up becoming:
2014/01/30 * (16785024) Courses
; car_type: economy
Expenses:Transports:Mobility 27 km @ 0.64 CHF
Expenses:Transports:Mobility 12600s @ 0.0007777778 CHF
Credit:Mobility -27.08 CHF
Rounding:Mobility
While the price is right, it looses a little bit in readability.
Is there a way to have ledger print either keep the units I used in the
translation, or at least use a default unit (in my case hours) to represent
such items ?
I found a solution for my needs, which is to use 'hr' as the unit, which
ledger doesn't know, so does not try to convert to anything, but I would
prefer the natural 'h' notation.
Or maybe I am approaching the whole issue from the wrong angle, so feel
free to tell me how it could be solved in an other way. I am hoping to get
total mileage as well as total renting time out of it.
