Converting Automated Transactions from Ledger to Hledger

[Brandon Olivares]

I've been checking out ledger, largely because it seems there are more options to communicate with programmatically (like the API).

But I have some automated transactions that I'm not sure how to translate over from Ledger. Here's the one that's giving me the most difficulty:

= (/^Expenses:/ or tag OnBudget) and not tag OffBudget and expr amount>0
[Budget:Unbudgeted] -1.0
[Budget:Balance] 1.0

It seems I can do at least:

= ^Expenses not:tag:OffBudget amt:>0

But if I include tag:OnBudget, nothing will be returned (the OnBudget transactions don't necessarily start with Expenses).

Will this have to be two separate automated transactions?

Thanks,
Brandon

Welcome. Yes, alas, because our support for boolean queries is limited:
http://hledger.org/manual.html#queries <http://hledger.org/manual.html#queries>.

Here's the open issue:
https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/20 <https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/20> . If anyone wants to work on this, megaparse includes support which should make it relatively easy.
