The following script makes it a no-brainer:
% NEXT_YEAR=2015; ag -l 'Copyright.*Wiegley' \
| xargs sed -i '' -e "s/\(Copyright.*\)-20[0-9]\{2\}/\1-${NEXT_YEAR}/"
The different namespaces are:
Function Value expression functions, which receive a "context"
Option Command-line options
Precommand Commands which are invoked before reading the journal
Command Commands which are invoked after reading the journal
Directive Directives that occur at column 0 in a data file
This greatly eases the ability for Python uses to add intercept hooks to
change how the basic Ledger module functions. An example of what should
be possible soon:
import ledger
def my_foo_handler(value):
print "--foo received:", value
ledger.add_handler(ledger.Option, "foo=", my_foo_handler)
These strings are now collected automagically in the file po/ledger.pot.
If you'd like to produce a translation, just run this command after
building Ledger:
msginit -l LOCALE -o LANG.po -i po/ledger.pot
Where LOCALE is a string like de or en_GB, and LANG is a short
descriptive word for your language.
Then send me this .po file so I can commit it to the Ledger sources
(alternatively, you could maintain the file in a fork on GitHub), and
setup the build script to format and install your new message catalog
during a "make install".
For example, "ledger eval options.limit" prints 0 (for false), but:
"ledger -l hello eval options.limit" print "hello"s, since the value of
options.limit, once set to a value, is that string. For flag options,
such as -Y, eval prints 0 if unset, and 1 if set.
This feature allows value expressions to be conditionalized based on the
presence of user options.
-- to mean special things after the command verb was seen. But now, what used
to be specified as this:
ledger -n reg cash -payable -- shell
Is now specified as this:
ledger reg -n cash not payable @shell
It could also be specified as:
ledger -n reg \(cash and not payable\) and @shell
