Unused Accounts

[Jasel17212]

Anyone know of a way to list defined but unused accounts, similar to hledger's --unused option?

I don't think so.

Why do you need this?

The only way I can think of is:

1) grep for "^account" and find the accounts you defined

2) do "ledger bal --empty" to find all accounts that have been used

the difference is unused accounts; they will not show up, even with
--empty

grep "^account" d | sed -e "s/^account *//" | sort | uniq > 1
ledger -f d bal --empty --flat -F "%a\n" | sort | uniq > 2
comm -3 1 2
rm -f 1 2

Since there wasn't a built-in option to do this, I came up with the following:

grep "^account" accounts.txt | cut -c 9- | xargs -I{} bash -c "grep -q \"{}\" *.ldg || echo \"{}\""

Thanks
