Interesting -- had I known about .ledgerrc, my bash aliases could have been much simplified. :-)
I started using --market to avoid seeing different commodity amounts, and getting output like this (without the rc file): --market --yearly --collapse reg <no output> --market --yearly --collapse reg ^e 17-Jan-01 - 17-Dec-31 <Total> $44.63 $44.63 18-Jan-01 - 18-Dec-31 <Total> $81.27 $125.90 --market --yearly --collapse reg ^a 17-Jan-01 - 17-Dec-31 <Total> $-11.76 $-11.76 And then with your rc --empty setting, I get: --market --yearly --collapse reg --empty 17-Jan-01 - 17-Dec-31 <Total> 0 0 18-Jan-01 - 18-Dec-31 <Total> 0 0 With similar test data I had a scenario where I'd only get data for the year that has investment stuff. I tried several variations with rc settings as in your file but --empty was the only thing that made a difference. And --empty might do the job for me since all I'm trying to do is determine what years have data for a given set of filters. Thanks again for your help!
