data formats for ledger convert

[Joel]

Hello,

The ledger manual gives a bit of guidance for csv conversion of data formats.

Can ledger convert handle dates such as this:  Aug. 05, 2016, 08:50 AM

Thanks,

Joel

I think if you set --input-date-format correctly, you should be able to
achieve this.

You may wish to consider using the ISO date/time format  - - - - - your 

example would look like   20160805T0850   .

I have adopted such as, for me at least, I no longer need to worry about 

whether its month first or day first (its biggest values to smallest ones) 

and the time is also a 24 hour clock and seconds and parts thereof can 

also be added . For a higher volume sales center this would enable very 

precise logging of sales where the time of sale could possibly even be 

used as an identifier for said sale.

Ledger currently does not track the time of a transaction, although you're
free to record that information bin metadata.
