importing transaction comments

[Evgenii Sovetkin]

I am looking for a way to import transactions *together with comments* from
a hledger file to a csv.

So, for instance,

2018/11/16 something
; :tag:
Expenses 100 EUR
; comment1
Assets -100 EUR
; comment2

will be imported as

"txnidx","date","code","description","account","amount","total","comment"
"1","2018/11/16","","something","Expenses","100 EUR","100 EUR",":tag:
comment1"
"1","2018/11/16","","something","Assets","-100 EUR","0","":tag: comment2"

Is it possible to do it with the command like this: `hledger register -o
output.csv` ?

I see that the print command includes transaction and posting comments in its csv output, but the register command includes neither. This will require a code change in Register.hs. I welcome a pull request or issue for this. It's not completely obvious what it should do about "transaction comments", which are usually considered to be inherited by the postings.

thanks, I didn't know about print command csv conversions!

I'll consider submitting a pull request for the register.
