I am trying to experiment with automatic transactions, which I see as
one of Ledger biggest draws. A search of the archives indicates a
significant change in syntax for 3.0.0 so I tried the following:
= expr account =~ /^(Expenses:(Medical|Clothing))
Liabilities:test 0.5
and this:
= account =~ /^(Expenses:(Medical|Clothing))
Liabilities:test
They all fail silently. Which is to say I see no change in the
Liabilities:test account. and there are no erros shown. I do have
transactions that credit the Expenses:Medical and the
Expenses:Clothing accounts.
I use a single master file to include data from several files. I put
the automatic transaction in the master file (both ahead of and behind
the !include statements). Does it need to be in the one of the other
files?
What am I missing? I did look through the source for parser.cc,
token.cc and query.cc and found my C++ too rusty to be of any help.
