# awk discards all but the number

# A note: If you're new to hledger/PTA and thinking it shouldn't be this hard..
# well of course normally when a hledger user wants to see one number, they run
# a much simpler command like `hledger bal lodging` or `hledger reg lodging`.
# This script is exploring how to anticipate and neutralise all variations
# caused by account structure, number formatting, mulltiple commodities, etc.
# so as to *reliably* produce *one machine readable number* from highly diverse
# data. As we figure out good approaches we'll build them in so that eg
# producing data for charting is as easy as it can be, while still being
# general.
