Budgeting on ledger 2.6

[Rene Vergara]

I am trying to setup a budget report on ledger 2.6 and I'm having trouble getting the results I want. I am using:

$ ledger --budget -b "this month" -M reg ^exp

And I get a register of my expenses so far this month, and it only shows the expense accounts listed on the period entry:

2013/05/01 - 2013/05/01         Expenses:Electricity         $22.74       $22.74

                                Ex:Food:Restaurants          $34.37       $57.11

                                Expenses:Internet            $24.95       $82.06

                                Expenses:Rent               $815.00      $897.06

But it does not display what the budgeted amount is, only the expense so far. Am I using this correctly?

I believe that frequent users of this mailing list have moved to ledger v3, and few of them have 2.6 still installed. Anyway, a ledger file example, with the expected output would help answer you.
