Hi folks,
Is it possible to generate an income vs expense report in one
shot using ledger?
I'm looking to generate a monthly report indicating
PERIOD INCOME EXPENSE SAVINGS RATE
where period is the month, income and expense are
the total income:* and expense:* for that month, and
savings and rate are the difference and percentage.
I can certainly see how to do it on a month by month
basis by pulling out individual components like:
income=`register -p ${period} --tail 1 --invert income | tail -1 | awk
'{print $NF}'`;
expense=`register -p ${period} --tail 1 expenses | tail -1 | awk
'{print $NF}'`;
where ${period} is something like 2011-12, but if there's
a way to generate the fields in one shot I'd like to hear
about it.
Jim
