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}/"
any() matches an expression against every post in a transaction or
account, and returns true if any of them are true. all() tests if all
are true. For example:
ledger -l 'account =~ /Expense/ & any(account =~ /MasterCard/)' reg
This reports every posting affecting an Expense account (regex match),
but only if some other posting in the same transaction affects the
MasterCard account.
Both functions also take a second boolean argument. If it is false, the
"source" posting is not considered. For example:
ledger -l 'any(/x/, false)'
This matches any posting where a *different* posting in the same
transaction contains the letter 'x'.
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".
In the old scheme, nested values would simply flatten and concatenate,
so that '((1, 2), 3) = (1, 2, 3)'. Now sublists are preserved, so that
sequences may be passed as arguments to functions.
-- 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
only a single expression and then quit immediately. Useful for parsing
expressions that begin with a left parenthesis and are known to end at the
right parenthesis.
