List of Payee transactions in 2.6

[Christopher Tomasulo]

In the example on the main page is the following...

2006/10/15 Exxon

    Expenses:Auto:Gas       $10.00

    Liabilities:MasterCard     $-10.00

Maybe I'm missing something, but if I had twenty transactions in the register with the payee "Exxon" as it is in this entry, how would I pull up a list of those transactions in version 2.6 of ledger?

[John Wiegley]

I believe it's just 'ledger reg @Exxon' in both 2.6 and 3.0.

Thanks for the reply John.  I can't get it to work.

I have two entries that have Walmart as the payee.  In the following format...

2014/01/12 Walmart
      Expenses:Electronics     $45.00
      Assets:Checking            $-45.00


When I type "ledger reg @Walmart" there is a pause for a second and then I'm back at the command prompt with no output.

Is there any way you can upgrade to 3.0?

ledger reg -- Walmart

(something similar works for me, and I'm still on 2.6 because "it works" and the hassle of building
3.0 for features I don't need isn't worth it. "Get off my lawn!" :-) )

Since you appear to be on OS X, I’ll just point out that if you are (or can be) using homebrew, it’s as easy to install 3.0 as it is to install 2.6:

brew install ledger —HEAD

(Not that I’m saying you *should* upgrade, just providing context...)

I will go on record as saying that everyone who can, should upgrade to 2.6. I
believe it is much more stable and feature complete, plus it makes it easier
for us to help you. :)

I did manage to get 3.0 installed about a week ago on my linux distro.  I installed from the Github source code.  The issue is that I can't use it from any directory (I'm not a Linux pro).   I have to be in the directory that I installed it to get it to work.   I haven't figured out how to make it work from the command line regardless of where I am in the file system.  So I am still using 2.6 until I figure it out.

The ledger binary needs to be on your $PATH. Simply compiling it won't put it there. You could try `make install`, and see if that works. This should put all the files in an appropriate location.

You need to install it. If you don't want to do that there is a quick and
extremely dirty way:

1. open your ~/.bashrc
2. add this line

alias ledger='~/path/to/your/compiled/./ledger'


you need of course to change the string inside '' to the proper
path/executable name
