### hledgerj1
[`hledgerj1`](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/master/bin/hledgerj1)
is a small example of a wrapper script that preprocesses the journal,
converting it from a custom format, in this case a one-line journal format
where slash represents newline. Eg:
```text
2025-01-04 shopping / assets:bank:checking / expenses:food 200 USD / expenses:supplies 50 USD
```
```cli
$ hledgerj1 a.j1 print
2025-01-04 shopping
assets:bank:checking
expenses:food 200 USD
expenses:supplies 50 USD
```

# Convert a one-line journal file (where forward slash is equivalent to newline)
# to a standard journal before running hledger on it.
# (Does not convert included files, does not work if your journal already contains forward slashes.)
