Last entry in a file misread if not followed by whitespace

[ed]

The last lines of my data file look like this (the intent is to maintain a carried forward contingency in a virtual account)

21/11 CF
    (CF)        £56

If I have no line feed at the end so that the file data is

21/11 CF
    (CF)        £56<EOF>

then the transaction is read as £5. If I have a space or a linefeed after the '6' it is read as £56

Definite major bug. Can you add as a priority 1 to Bugzilla?

Thanks,
John

I was testing this to enter it into Bugzilla, but I cannot duplicate it.

Erm, data entered as shown in my post, using OS X and Sublime Text 2. Still does it now that the file is differently sized. od shows that there is no trailing whitespace after the number in the error case, ledger version Ledger 3.0.0-20120518

For completeness, here is my .ledgerrc in full
<begin>
;
--strict
--date-format=%d/%m/%Y
; Use Y 2011 to set the current year
;--input-date-format=%d/%m/%Y
--input-date-format=%d/%m
<end>
and here is a minimal data file
<begin>
N £
year 2011

account Virtual:CF
    alias CF

22/10 CF
    (CF)    £56<end>


With (EOF) directly after 56 as shown I get an error, with whitespace after 56 I don't.

Problem is present here as well. Some editors always add a new line, but
it's easy (on my version at least) to produce a minimal example from the
shell:

$ ledger --version
Ledger 3.0.0-20120518, the command-line accounting tool

$ echo "2012/10/10 FOO\n (Foo:Bar) \$56" | ledger -f - bal
$56 Foo:Bar

$ echo -n "2012/10/10 FOO\n (Foo:Bar) \$56" | ledger -f - bal
$5 Foo:Bar

Best,
Jesse

Excellent minimal test case, I forgot about using ledger in a pipe, well played.
