Custom format to remove the currency

[Jimi Damon]

Hi,

I am just looking for the correct command to remove the currency from a ledger custom format.

I have some other scripts that process the results and they I'd prefer to not have to pipe the output of ledger into something just to remove "$" from the report.

Is there a  way to get the %amount in a format without the currency attached to it ? 

echo -ne "2019/12/01 * Mortgage\n    Expenses:Mortgage      \$10000.00\n    Assets:Checking\n" | ledger -f - reg Expenses:Mortgage --format "%(roundto(amount, 2))\n"

I'd love to get 

10000.00

Instead of 

$10000.00

No answer(s) here but I'd be quite curious as to why you don't what
the currency symbol to be connected?

I'm feeding it into other reporting /  tax software

The 'clear_commodity' function should do this for you.

echo -ne "2019/12/01 * Mortgage\n Expenses:Mortgage \$10000.00\n Assets:Checking\n" | ledger -f - reg Expenses:Mortgage --format "%(clear_commodity(roundto(amount, 2)))\n"

Thanks for that...also you solved a problem for me with roundto.

Why is roundto() so sensitive to spaces in it's argument ? 

This works

roundto(amount, 2 )

but this doesn't ??

roundto(amount,2)

Well, comma might be a European decimal separator, and "amount" might be the
name of a commodity, and you might be specifying 0,2 of that commodity very
lazily.

I agree this should be an error, and welcome a bug report, but that's what
Ledger is thinking in this case.
