the include statement for CSV rules files would be a good feature to express e.g. common CSV formats as reusable rules file "snippets". In practice it is less useful, however, because include paths are resolved relative to current workingdir, not relative to the file containing the include statement. Concrete example: Most banks in Denmark use same data format for CSV export (BEC). I want that defined in a shared folder available also for my girlfriend, and I want some filters reused across several of my own annual journals. This works fine when all is in same dir: mybank-2012.csv: "Dato";"Tekst";"Beløb";"Saldo";"Valørdato";"Type";"Adviseringer"; 02-01-2012;"Årsgebyr Visa/Dankort";-150.00; 2759.05;"30-12-2011"; 09-01-2012;"BS DK HOSTMASTER A/S";-45.00; 2714.05;"09-01-2012";""; 10-01-2012;"SLICEHOST";-284.99; 2429.06;"10-01-2012"; mybank-2012.csv.rules: include merkur.rules # rules specific to 2012 dump ... merkur.rules: include bec.rules # rules specific to my bank (Merkur Andelskasse)... bec.rules: fields date, description1, amount1,, date2, code, description2 amount %amount1 kr description %description1 - %description2 skip 1 date-format %d-%m-%Y Then I reorganize (and adapt include statements to match) like this: mycompany/2012/bank.csv mycompany/2012/bank.csv.rules mycompany/merkur.rules shared/bec.rules If I run "hledger -f bank.csv" from "mycompany/2012", it works only if all filter rules are stored directly in bank.csv.rules. If I run "hledger -f 2012/bank.csv" from "mycompany", it works if content of bec.rules is stuffed into merkur.rules. In my actual setup, I cat and pipe, and use hledger -f-, and then failures to include is silent - the errors emitted are those of the core "fields" statement missing. - Jonas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQF8BAEBCgBmBQJTtXLxXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ3NjQ4ODQwMTIyRTJDNTBFQzUxRDQwRTI0 RUMxQjcyMjM3NEY5QkQ2AAoJEE7BtyI3T5vWaDIH/jIu00yU/ukC0ZHIW8Tw7a3w iNxqw9Tw554OZIlxKjMbQoMT2V+oJCeiU3zh3tDt5xtO/61vVeTbRmzl8mxqO6+A kPSOYcjTN1BMTZktnCydhiSORPhbeRD6qmiP7+Xn/yUkUt2F7rCBaLrFXB2Ds9ha JyoZG2aX5qXDGq9bXiOAF5o0d4Bv6ywqmlHPGkMf9ilB/L1EsbAMKh1/9ecaT6sX lZ/Cxdi24RHE/MbDEorjLFtUUBg1nGtf2mlGXAJDEvyhOOKu9Y4Zt/uw58WBJqAo mW3xNtrl6UpNuvzBbzbRsTCFCue4kjov/dn9RtFaAR+1uC8ImZbg2YloSVXF9q0= =Ywcy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
