Hi Dee, ledger never writes to your ledger file. Ledger is basically a reporting system for plain text files that are in the ledger format. You need to create your own ledger file from scratch. If you need help creating and editing a plain text file on linux, there are probably better places to look for that. If you can create a file, named foo.lgr, in your home directory, that contains the following text: 2014/07/07 Initial Equity -$100 Assets:Bank $100 then the command: ledger -f ~/foo.lgr bal should display your initial balance. best, Erik -- Sent from my free software system <http://fsf.org/>. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
