# hledger-dc JOURNALFILE CMD [ARGS]
|
|
# run a hledger command on a journal file which also supports Dr/Cr before the account name,
|
|
# instead of/in addition to amount signs.
|
|
|
|
# If a posting begins with Dr<WHITESPACE>, remove that.
|
|
# If it begins with Cr<WHITESPACE> and contains no number, remove that.
|
|
# If it begins with Cr<WHITESPACE>, remove that and add a minus sign before the next number, and if that leaves a double minus, cancel those out.
|

# Or with a two space delimiter after Dr/Cr, allowing account names like "Dr Michael:checkup":

# Example:
|
|
#
|
|
# $ cat sample.journaldc
|
|
# 2025-01-01 salary
|
|
# Cr revenues 800 USD
|
|
# Dr assets
|
|
#
|
|
# $ hledger -f sample.journaldc print
|
|
# 2025-01-01 salary
|
|
# Cr revenues 800 USD
|
|
# Dr assets
|
|
#
|
|
# $ hledger dc sample.journaldc print

# Dev notes:
|
|
# This is syntactic sugar.
|
|
# If useful, it should be possible to add this to journal format without too much breakage.
|
|
#
|
|
# Showing debits/credits separately in output, with a --dc flag, is more work.
|
|
# It could be prototyped as a single new report, eg an addon script providing variant of the simple balance report.
|
|
# I think both the report calculation and display code would need to change, to sum and show the positive amounts and negative amounts separately.
|
|
# It would be a nice feature: offering a more traditional view of things, and reducing sign vs dc doubts.
|
|
# Would it provide any real new error checking power ? I'm not sure
