Please note that as a command line program, Ledger is controlled from
your shell. There are several different command shells that all behave
slightly differently with repsect to some special characters. In
particular, the BaSH shell will interpret \$ signs differently than
ledger and they must be escaped to reach the actual program. Another
example is zsh, which will interpret \^ differently than ledger expects.
In all cases that follow you should take that into account when entering
the commandline arguments given. There are too many variations between
shells to give concrete examples for each.
