You can use command-line hledger to produce the appropriate balance report data as CSV, suitable for gnuplot (or drag into a spreadsheet and use the charting tools there).

I had the same wish, you might be interested in https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/master/bin/hled... However, reporting average expenses is easy, and sometimes enough..

It would be good to measure that for the various tools. Things like balance assertions, balance assignments, valuation, may complicate the picture. hledger and beancount users, at least, do often split files by year to keep things in the &

Essentially yes, with some exceptions: Ledger used to save a parsed/processed file to speed up subsequent reads. It was dropped as not being worthwhile. Long-running UIs, like hledger-ui, hledger-web, and fava I expect, do the parsing

Good feedback. It's hard to know where to stop adding to this wall of text, also each tool has its own format. But, point noted, thanks.

Nice! I'd like to see that.

Cool. What's good about its forecast ?

That's one of the points made in the fine article. Recommended, thanks for linking it.

It looks like this tool imports bank CSV. You can produce similar CSV with hledger's register command (or aregister, in master). Export one account and one currency at a time. Eg: $ hledger -f examples/sample.journal reg che

I don't think it's quite that bad. Most likely you could easily use 1-2 ghc versions for those, and you need one build of IDE tools per ghc version, not per resolver, no ?

hledger author here, I can't think what all those would be - would appreciate your help at https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/1081 if you have the time.

I detach/reattach mosh sessions all the time, using the excellent dtach tool.

I had the same feeling when listening to the audio version of Robert Sheckley's Dimension of Miracles. (Recommended!)

I do this with a tool called plaid2qif, and a free Plaid developer account.

dtach ( http://dtach.sourceforge.net ) is way simpler and more transparent than tmux.

Not the OP, but: https://plaintextaccounting.org/#data-importconversion , https://hledger.org/about-real-world-setup-docs.html , #plaintextaccounting and the project IRC channels may have something helpful.

I believe many banks in the US don’t provide OFX, or not easily. Wells Fargo would charge me $10/month for it.

Several examples/how-tos are linked at https://plaintextaccounting.org/#budgeting .

by smichael 7y ago
That’s right. For other stuff, a possible workaround is to use includes to keep it in a separate file that only Ledger sees.

by smichael 7y ago
Could you blog about/link to that ? It sounds smart.

I was using Tiller ( https://www.tillerhq.com ), pulling from US and European banks to a Google sheet, then a command line tool to pull CSV from there. This worked well except for not handling foreign currency (it calls everything
