Okay, I'm nearly there, but not quite. My test data looks like this:
05/15 * Taxi
; Receipt: 40 RMB
Expenses:Transportation 23 RMB
Assets:Cash
05/15 * BHG
; Receipt:
Expenses:Food:Supermarket 154 RMB
Assets:Bank
I've got the simple case (just making an automated transaction when the
"Receipt" tag appears) working, with this:
= tag("Receipt") and /^expenses:(transportation|food|books)/
(Assets:Receipts) 1
My best guess for the complicated case (using the value of the Receipt
tag, when present, instead of the posting value) is this:
= expr recpt = tag("Receipt") and expr account =~
/^expenses:(transportation|food|books)/
(Assets:Receipts) ((recpt > 0) ? recpt : 1)
But running that gives me this error:
While parsing value expression:
recpt = tag("Receipt"
While parsing automated transaction:
> = expr recpt = tag("Receipt") and expr account =~
> /^expenses:(transportation|food|books)/
Error: Invalid token '<end of input>' (wanted ')')
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm just writing it wrong. Should
it work as I've got it?
Thanks again,
Eric
