Does it help if you use -V or -X , in order to report things in one currency or the other? John -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.

You could use a pager that ignores everything and just outputs “I was used”, and then set the test expectation to that value?

Multiple Currencies: Budgeting
Hello, Everything about Ledger is perfect for me accept managing a budget with multiple currencies. The issue, for me, is that I spend money in two different currencies. For example, while living abroad I will spending in "Expenses:Restaurants" but sometimes I will use my credit card to pay (USD) and sometimes I will use the foreign currency. If my budget for Restaurants is $600 USD how can I manage this in ledger if sometimes I use a foreign currency and sometimes I use USD? Note: Everything else works perfect for me in ledger using multiple currencies (data input, running reports, and so forth), the only thing I'm struggling with is budgeting. I want it to work exactly (or at least very similar) to the "budget" command in Ledger. Thanks for your help/advice, Scott -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.

Re: Printing to stdout
Thanks John for providing support and thanks for raising this issue Bob. Looking at the code there are few questions that arise for me: * Should ledger really be looking for and use less if PAGER is unset? Isn't the absence of PAGER and indicator that the user prefers their output straight to the terminal? * When looking for less shouldn't ledger search all directories in PATH instead of hard-coded locations? If yes, does anyone know of a UNIX PATH searching function readily available, e.g. in the Boost Filesystem Library¹ before a custom one is added? * Where and how is LEDGER_PAGER used in the source code? A quick grep for LEDGER_PAGER did not Is there some generic code that allows any ledger command-line option to be used as an upper-cased and LEDGER_-prefix environment variable? If yes, where is it implemented? * How could this be tested along with other unit tests, so that once a desired behaviour is defined its implementation is tested.
