Re: [GNC] 8.1.1. Find Transaction

Regular expressions are beautiful and powerful things. Perl (the language) was a laboratory for extending the reach of REs. In your travels you may come across PCRE regular expressions; that is Perl Compatible Regular Expressions. They are stunning. Once you get the hang of even basic REs, you’

Re: [GNC] Split Transactions

Thanks David, I tried aggregating the two amounts on the asset side and, as you suggest, it resulted in a single entry in the asset register. However, the duplicate entries in the Income register remain. As this is an artefact (bug?) of GnuCash I decided that the only thing to do is to use s

[GNC] Solving printer issues

Hello Gnucash people, I need to know how to program Gnucash so that the printer doesn’t cut lines in half. I use A4 size paper and don’t know where in Gnucash one can set margins. Is Gnucash programmed only for letter size paper? My documents and pdfs all cut the lines in half at the end of

Re: [GNC] Standard chart of accounts?

Hi Ken Brown, I think that you need what you asked for, a good Chart of Accounts example, which you will implement into a new GnuCash entity. How about the following Chart of Accounts, designed by me just now for a single person in the United States with some regular salary income plus some income

Re: [GNC] Stock Levels

A bit unfair i think. I was referring to GnuCash + a spreadsheet, not just GnuCash. It takes some words to explicitly state how inventory accounting works anywhere, especially if mentioning alternative approaches. And I am trying to put forward a workable solution for a potential GnuCash user ra

Re: [GNC] Gnucash files on a thumb drive?

Find the location of where your data file is stored then copy and paste, pretty straightforward but your accountant will need a copy of GNU Cash to view the files. Another option is to export files as HTML via reports, from there you can copy and paste into spreadsheets which is a bit more univers

Thank you Michael, I see in your reference that regex came into general use in certain computer circles at approximately the same time that I was learning about the radical new analog computing devices called Operational Amplifiers from their inventor at Northwestern University. At that time ther

Geoff, I am with you, thanks for taking the time to post detailed info (screenshot?) That might save a bit of time as it can be done from the same window, that said it's more or less the same process of having to go through menu options rather than a floating box which you can just change the valu
