How to output original source text in a report?

Hi! I'm trying to compute capital gains on some ledger files, so I'm exporting them to CSV for a python script to analyze. I export CSV with this: ledger csv everything.ledger --prepend-format '"%(filename)","%(display_amount)","%(xact.id)","%(lot_price(amount,amount))",' > tmp.csv However,

Re: Can I filter by Transaction, instead of Posting?

Ledger also doesn't natively export lot prices. We need lot prices to compute capital gains. They are locked in my ledger files. How to get them out? It turns out that if you learn ledger's language for output formatting, and learn how to craft a custom --csv-format string, it's possible to

Can I filter by Transaction, instead of Posting?

I need a FIFO algorithm to calculate capital gains. Since ledger doesn't support this, I'm writing a python script. However, I'm having trouble getting this data into python. It seems that all the export and filtering functions address postings, but not transactions. Here is what I've tried:

Re: Can I filter by Transaction, instead of Posting?

Oh, one more thing I tried that failed: *3. Creating a custom csv export format string* I thought that perhaps I could add a custom identifier for each transaction into the CSV file, and then my python script could re-group transactions by this custom identifier, and filter them. I thought I
