Here's how it works: + +Say you currently have this posting in your ledger file: + +@smallexample +2004/03/15 * Viva Italiano + Expenses:Food $12.45 + Expenses:Tips $2.55 + Liabilities:MasterCard $-15.00 +@end smallexample + +Now it's @samp{2004/4/9}, and you've just eating at @samp{Viva +Italiano} again. The epost amounts are different, but the overall +form is the same. With the @command{xact} command you can type: + +@example +ledger xact 2004/4/9 viva food 11 tips 2.50 +@end example + +This produces the following output: + +@smallexample +2004/04/09 Viva Italiano + Expenses:Food $11.00 + Expenses:Tips $2.50 + Liabilities:MasterCard $-13.50 +@end smallexample + +It works by finding a past posting matching the regular expression +@samp{viva}, and assuming that any accounts or amounts specified will +be similar to that earlier posting. If Ledger does not succeed in +generating a new transaction, an error is printed and the exit code is set +to @samp{1}. + +There is a shell script in the distribution's @file{scripts} directory +called @file{xact}, which simplifies the task of adding a new transaction +to your ledger. It launches @command{vi} to confirm that the transaction +looks appropriate. + +Here are a few more examples of the @command{xact} command, assuming +the above journal transaction: + +@example +ledger xact 4/9 viva 11.50 +ledger xact 4/9 viva 11.50 checking # (from `checking') +ledger xact 4/9 viva food 11.50 tips 8 +ledger xact 4/9 viva food 11.50 tips 8 cash +ledger xact 4/9 viva food $11.50 tips $8 cash +ledger xact 4/9 viva dining "DM 11.50" +@end example + + + $classes + + NSMutableString + NSString + NSObject + + $classname + NSMutableString + + + $class + + CF$UID + 33 + + NS.keys + + + CF$UID + 11 + + + CF$UID + 12 + + + NS.objects + + + CF$UID + 13 + + + CF$UID + 30 + + + + NSParagraphStyle + NSFont + + $class + + CF$UID + 29 + + NSAlignment + 4 + NSLineHeightMultiple + 1.1000000238418579 + NSTabStops + + CF$UID + 14 + + + + $class + + CF$UID + 28 + + NS.objects + + + CF$UID + 15 + + + CF$UID + 17 + + + CF$UID + 18 + + + CF$UID + 19 + + + CF$UID + 20 + + + CF$UID + 21 + + + CF$UID + 22 + + + CF$UID + 23 + + + CF$UID + 24 + + + CF$UID + 25 + + + CF$UID + 26 + + + CF$UID + 27 + + + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 28 + + + $classes + + NSTextTab + NSObject + + $classname + NSTextTab + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 56 + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 84 + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 112 + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 140 + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 168 + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 196 + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 224 + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 252 + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 280 + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 308 + + + $class + + CF$UID + 16 + + NSLocation + 336 + + + $classes + + NSArray + NSObject + + $classname + NSArray + + + $classes + + NSParagraphStyle + NSObject + + $classname + NSParagraphStyle + + + $class + + CF$UID + 32 + + NSName + + CF$UID + 31 + + NSSize + 14 + NSfFlags + 16 + + Courier + + $classes + + NSFont + NSObject + + $classname + NSFont + + + $classes + + NSDictionary + NSObject + + $classname + NSDictionary + + + $classes + + KBWordCountingTextStorage + NSTextStorage + NSMutableAttributedString + NSAttributedString + NSObject + + $classname + KBWordCountingTextStorage + + + $class + + CF$UID + 36 + + NS.time + 267380388.79372501 + + + $classes + + NSDate + NSObject + + $classname + NSDate + + + $classes + + NSMutableArray + NSArray + NSObject + + $classname + NSMutableArray + + + $top + + Snapshots + + CF$UID + 1 + + + $version + 100000 + + -- cgit v1.2.3
