Message-ID: <87eiemsk0m.fsf@mundaneum.com> (raw)

Hello,

I'm trying to really begin working with Ledger for my personal accounting.
Of course, trying to do it with as much Org as possible...

Though, results of 3 small requests (whose results is snipped, for brievety)
is the following:

As you can see, the tables are completely wrongly made, because they're based
on spaces ("à la Awk") and not on fixed position of fields ("à la Cut").

What can I do about this?

- Post-process every ledger command with some awk or cut command that will do
  whatever is needed

- Exploit the CSV export format (never tried, don't have Ledger 3 installed
  yet -- and I'm also using hledger...)

- Other ideas?

Do you have suggestions about the best way to go?

Best regards,
  Seb
