I'm really happy using the imperative (I forget the term) virtual accounts 
(surrounded by []), it maintains the accounting equation, I can easily query 
how much is really in my checking vs how much is unallocated to ther budget 
things, and I can square things up periodically if I choose.

ledger print

2014-12-07 Thread Jeffrey Brent McBeth 
I am having problems with queries of ledger when I pass in my ledger file 
(approximately 10k lines) 
If I make the same query of the file that results from a ledger -f 
origFile.ledger print  foo.ledger
Then, the problem goes away (the resulting file is 13k-ish lines)

This is causing me no end of heartache when it comes to creating a minimal 
failing example for you folks.

The original file does use several matching automatic transactions like:
= /^Expenses:Insurance:Jeff/ and date  [2014/12/01]
  [Assets:ESL:Checking]  1
  [Savings:Bill:Insurance:Jeff]  -1
= /^Expenses:Insurance:Elnora/ and date  [2014/12/01]
  [Assets:ESL:Checking]  1
  [Savings:Bill:Insurance:Elnora]  -1

In fact, it was upon adding these two that I first started noticing the problem.
Essentially, there are transactions being created that don't match the limiting 
expressions.
But, those spuruous transactions don't appear if I call print, only when I 
call register or balance

If there are some suggestions on where I could start looking and debugging, I 
would be willing to take a crack at it, as I have some christmas vacation 
coming.
If there is somebody willing to look at it, I probably could send an encrypted 
zip of the ledger files as they stand, too.

Thanks for your patience,
 Jeffrey McBeth

 I just nuked the repo and cloned it again since I had no stuff of my own

cmake caches which library version it finds, so the other answer would have

 The best is:
 
 --debug expr.calc
 
 Which requires that you've built with debugging support enabled.

so, I thought that that was what I would get when I ran
./acprep debug  sudo make install

but, the debug switch, while recognized appears to responf with nothing?
again, I recognize I'm being dense.  Thank you for yur time and efforts.

 Can you explain in more detail the functionality you gain by round-tripping
 the funds like this through several accounts only to come back to
 Savings:Toys?

Maybe none.  What I'm hoping for is if I call ledger with --real, I would get 
the correct amounts in my real accounts.  If I call ledger without it, I want 
the money that is in my savings to not be in either real account.  What I have 
done right now is wrong

I have
Date Save
 [Assets:Checking]
 [Savings:Toys]  100

and
LaterDate Transfer
 Assets:Checking
 Assets:Savings 100

The second entry makes sure that my Assets have the right totals with --real, 
but double books the savings with virtual postings on.  So, I'm wondering how 
to modify my entries to get the totals right in both situations.

Hopefully, this is slightly more clear?
