I'm not sure. What I meant is to run "ledger reg" on the example I provided. It would have shown how it's processed. -- Martin Michlmayr https://www.cyrius.com/ -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.

But even after I add a non-ambiguous "predeclaration" like this: 2021/01/01 entry0 assets:cash:savings:bca 0,000,000.00 IDR assets:cash:dana 2021/01/06 entry1 assets:cash:savings:bca 200, IDR assets:cash:dana 2021/01/06 entry2 assets:cash:savings:bca 100,000 IDR assets:cash:dana 2021/01/06 entry3 assets:cash:savings:bca 3,050,000 IDR assets:cash:dana I still can't make Ledger detect the error in entry1. It still ends up complaining about entry3. If entry1 is commented out, Ledger now can parse the file and correctly use the format specified by entry0: % ledger -f 2.dat bal 0 assets:cash -3,150,000.00 IDRdana 3,150,000.00 IDRsavings:bca In my own use, I just don’t bother writing the thousand separators; a > typical day-to-day transaction in RUB is not large enough to warrant > digit grouping.

Without the thousand grouping I would have made even more errors. Regards, perlancar -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.

Example: Ledger uses the first entry to figure out the format, so if the first entry is wrong you don't have a guarantee where an error will occur. Look at the ledger output for these to see how ledger interprets your format: 2021/01/06 entry1 assets:cash:savings:bca 200, IDR assets:cash:dana 2021/01/06 entry2 assets:cash:savings:bca 100,000 IDR assets:cash:dana 2021/01/06 entry4 assets:cash:savings:bca 1 IDR assets:cash:dana -- Martin Michlmayr https://www.cyrius.com/ -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.

The amount should be > "200,000 IDR" (extraneous 0) or perhaps 2,000,000 IDR (misplaced commas). How do you figure that? Ledger is pretty flexible in its input syntax. In particular, it supports both ‘.’ (American convention) and ‘,’ (European convention) as the decimal separator. Absent any explicit indication in your file, it probably interprets entry1 as a transaction for two hundred and zero ten-thousandths, entry2 for one hundred and zero thousandths, and entry3 as “three and fifty thousandths and wait, what? surely a number cannot have two decimal separators”. If you change the first occurrence of IDR this way: 2021/01/06 entry1 assets:cash:savings:bca 200,.00 IDR then Ledger says: While parsing posting: assets:cash:savings:bca 200,.00 IDR ^^^ Error: Incorrect use of thousand-mark comma I was under the impression that pre-declaring the commodity should also have this effect, but I don’t see that having any effect on Ledger 3.1.2: commodity IDR format 1,000.00 IDR I also did not find a way to say that the comma is the thousand separator and dot is the decimal separator without setting the default precision to non-zero. In my own use, I just don’t bother writing the thousand separators; a typical day-to-day transaction in RUB is not large enough to warrant digit grouping. But I see how you might want to, and how you might not want decimals at all. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.

Wrong entry pointed out in "Too many commas in amount" error message
Hi everyone, First of all, sorry I haven't updated ledger to the latest when testing this bug. I'm using 3.1.3-20190331 which comes with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS on my laptop. So perhaps this bug no longer exists. ledger points out the wrong entry (probably the next entry with multiple commas) when there is a misplaced comma. Example: ; -*- Mode: ledger -*- 2021/01/06 entry1 assets:cash:savings:bca 200, IDR assets:cash:dana 2021/01/06 entry2 assets:cash:savings:bca 100,000 IDR assets:cash:dana 2021/01/06 entry3 assets:cash:savings:bca 3,050,000 IDR assets:cash:dana As you can see, the error is in entry1 in line 4. The amount should be "200,000 IDR" (extraneous 0) or perhaps 2,000,000 IDR (misplaced commas). But when run through ledger, it complains as follow: While parsing file "/home/u1/tmp/1.dat", line 12: While parsing posting: assets:cash:savings:bca 3,050,000 IDR ^ Error: Too many commas in amount Regards, -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
