Here we go:
- using TAB (align) on a reckon generated posting, eats almost the whole
posting, this seems to be caused by literal tab characters in the generated
file
- i instructed reckon to use comma format, but the generated output
contains decimal dots again which is incompatible with the euro format in
my ledger files so i had to convert them back by hand
Used command:
reckon --contains-header --comma-separates-cents --currency '€' --account
Bezit:Betaalrekening:XXXXXXX -f XXXXXXX.csv -l ../ledger.ledger -o
XXX_output.dat
This generated posting:
2014/03/05 KN: 300031560; YYYYYYYYY; 798051; IC; Af; Incasso; ZAAILING
WEBWINKELS 300038898 300031560 VOF ZAAILING?LEIDEN
Uitgaven:Boodschappen:Eten:GV €39,67
Bezit:Betaalrekening:XXXXXXXX -€39,67
is destroyed by ledger-mode after giving a <TAB> it becomes:
2014/03€39,6-€39,67
Ledger-mode command "Clean-up buffer" destroys the whole file ;-)
I had to manually edit all postings to get rid of this. Of course once you
found out it is the literal tab characters one could easily automate this.
But still, it is inconvenient.
One could of course also say this is a quirk in ledger-mode, as ledger just
normally processes these files.
