Hi, I've stumbled upon your software which seems awesome so far.
Reading the doc, I fail to understand what advantages using codes has over just using tags. Mainly I'd like to track entries possibly via a transaction code, possibly using a prefix to distinguish the payment type, here I use 'chk' to imply I paid with a check. Considering this sample ledger: --- 2017/05/24 (chk=123) KFC ; chk: 124 Expenses:Food:Restaurant 20 Assets:Checking Account -20 2017/05/23 (chk=123) KFC ; chk: 124 Expenses:Food:Restaurant 19 Assets:Checking Account -19 --- This is the output I get: ```console user@host:~$ ledger -f ~/test.ledger reg code chk=123 17-May-24 KFC Ex:Food:Restaurant 20 20 ..Checking Account -20 0 17-May-23 KFC Ex:Food:Restaurant 19 19 ..Checking Account -19 0 ``` ```console user@host:~$ ledger -f ~/test.ledger reg tag chq=124 17-May-24 KFC Ex:Food:Restaurant 20 20 ..Checking Account -20 0 17-May-23 KFC Ex:Food:Restaurant 19 19 ..Checking Account -19 0 ``` The behavior is the same, although I understand I'm just searching for a fixed value with the code prefix hack. Am I missing something? -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
