I'm in the process of transitioning from Gnucash to Ledger (as keeping Gnucash working consistently on MacOS is challenging, despite the best efforts of the MacPorts folks).
I will miss Gnucash's support for scheduled transactions, though, if I can't figure out a good way to do this in Ledger. That is, I'd like to be able to set up a transaction that automatically charges a specific amount to my credit card every month on the 13th, say. From the ledger-mode manual, I see that ledger-mode at least has some support for this, but this section is still a work in progress. I've played around with the feature, and I see how to make it work for transactions that always occur on the same day of the month. One question, though: is there support for scheduling transactions to occur, for example, every 2 weeks? I don't see an obvious way to work that into the generalized date notation [*/*/13]. I took a look at ledger-schedule.el, and the definition of ledger-schedule-descriptor-regex appears to allow more sophisticated specifications than that, but it's going to take me a while to puzzle out exactly what's going on here. A very superficial reading of ledger-schedule-constrain-day and related functions suggests that not all of the features allowed in the regex are currently supported. (Ledger 3.0.3-20140608, MacOS 10.9.4, for what it's worth.) Thanks! Richard -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
