You're quite right. I wrote some scripts to automatically create transactions from my bank csvs. This script uses a heuristic of 'approx lunch time + known restaurant/supermarket' to mark stuff with the tag 'Lunch'. I then manually review these transactions before adding them to the main ledger file. -- Vishesh Handa -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
