Normally, the journal entry\[aq]s explicit or implicit amount style is
preserved.
For example, when an amount is omitted in the journal, it will not
appear in the output.
Similarly, when a transaction price is implied but not written, it will
not appear in the output.
You can use the \f[C]-x\f[R]/\f[C]--explicit\f[R] flag to make all
amounts and transaction prices explicit, which can be useful for
troubleshooting or for making your journal more readable and robust
against data entry errors.
\f[C]-x\f[R] is also implied by using any of
\f[C]-B\f[R],\f[C]-V\f[R],\f[C]-X\f[R],\f[C]--value\f[R].
.PP
Note, \f[C]-x\f[R]/\f[C]--explicit\f[R] will cause postings with a
multi-commodity amount (these can arise when a multi-commodity
transaction has an implicit amount) to be split into multiple
single-commodity postings, keeping the output parseable.
.PP
With \f[C]-B\f[R]/\f[C]--cost\f[R], amounts with transaction prices are
converted to cost using that price.
This can be used for troubleshooting.
.PP
With \f[C]-m\f[R]/\f[C]--match\f[R] and a STR argument, print will show
at most one transaction: the one one whose description is most similar
to STR, and is most recent.
STR should contain at least two characters.
If there is no similar-enough match, no transaction will be shown.
.PP
With \f[C]--new\f[R], for each FILE being read, hledger reads (and
writes) a special state file (\f[C].latest.FILE\f[R] in the same
directory), containing the latest transaction date(s) that were seen
last time FILE was read.
When this file is found, only transactions with newer dates (and new
transactions on the latest date) are printed.
This is useful for ignoring already-seen entries in import data, such as
downloaded CSV files.
Eg:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
$ hledger -f bank1.csv print --new
(shows transactions added since last print --new on this file)
\f[R]
.fi
.PP
This assumes that transactions added to FILE always have same or
increasing dates, and that transactions on the same day do not get
reordered.
See also the import command.
.PP
This command also supports the output destination and output format
options The output formats supported are \f[C]txt\f[R], \f[C]csv\f[R],
and (experimental) \f[C]json\f[R] and \f[C]sql\f[R].

.IP \[bu] 2
There is one CSV record per posting, with the parent transaction\[aq]s
fields repeated.
.IP \[bu] 2
The \[dq]txnidx\[dq] (transaction index) field shows which postings
belong to the same transaction.
(This number might change if transactions are reordered within the file,
files are parsed/included in a different order, etc.)
.IP \[bu] 2
The amount is separated into \[dq]commodity\[dq] (the symbol) and
\[dq]amount\[dq] (numeric quantity) fields.
.IP \[bu] 2
The numeric amount is repeated in either the \[dq]credit\[dq] or
\[dq]debit\[dq] column, for convenience.
(Those names are not accurate in the accounting sense; it just puts
negative amounts under credit and zero or greater amounts under debit.)

Show postings and their running total.
.PP
The register command displays matched postings, across all accounts, in
date order, with their running total or running historical balance.
(See also the \f[C]aregister\f[R] command, which shows matched
transactions in a specific account.)
.PP
register normally shows line per posting, but note that multi-commodity
amounts will occupy multiple lines (one line per commodity).
.PP
It is typically used with a query selecting a particular account, to see
that account\[aq]s activity:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
$ hledger register checking
2008/01/01 income assets:bank:checking $1 $1
2008/06/01 gift assets:bank:checking $1 $2
2008/06/02 save assets:bank:checking $-1 $1
2008/12/31 pay off assets:bank:checking $-1 0
\f[R]
.fi
.PP
With --date2, it shows and sorts by secondary date instead.
.PP
The \f[C]--historical\f[R]/\f[C]-H\f[R] flag adds the balance from any
undisplayed prior postings to the running total.
This is useful when you want to see only recent activity, with a
historically accurate running balance:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
$ hledger register checking -b 2008/6 --historical
2008/06/01 gift assets:bank:checking $1 $2
2008/06/02 save assets:bank:checking $-1 $1
2008/12/31 pay off assets:bank:checking $-1 0
\f[R]
.fi
.PP
The \f[C]--depth\f[R] option limits the amount of sub-account detail
displayed.
.PP
The \f[C]--average\f[R]/\f[C]-A\f[R] flag shows the running average
posting amount instead of the running total (so, the final number
displayed is the average for the whole report period).
This flag implies \f[C]--empty\f[R] (see below).
It is affected by \f[C]--historical\f[R].
It works best when showing just one account and one commodity.
.PP
The \f[C]--related\f[R]/\f[C]-r\f[R] flag shows the \f[I]other\f[R]
postings in the transactions of the postings which would normally be
shown.
.PP
The \f[C]--invert\f[R] flag negates all amounts.
For example, it can be used on an income account where amounts are
normally displayed as negative numbers.
It\[aq]s also useful to show postings on the checking account together
with the related account:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
$ hledger register --related --invert assets:checking
\f[R]
.fi
.PP
With a reporting interval, register shows summary postings, one per
interval, aggregating the postings to each account:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
$ hledger register --monthly income
2008/01 income:salary $-1 $-1
2008/06 income:gifts $-1 $-2
\f[R]
.fi
.PP
Periods with no activity, and summary postings with a zero amount, are
not shown by default; use the \f[C]--empty\f[R]/\f[C]-E\f[R] flag to see
them:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
$ hledger register --monthly income -E
2008/01 income:salary $-1 $-1
2008/02 0 $-1
2008/03 0 $-1
2008/04 0 $-1
2008/05 0 $-1
2008/06 income:gifts $-1 $-2
2008/07 0 $-2
2008/08 0 $-2
2008/09 0 $-2
2008/10 0 $-2
2008/11 0 $-2
2008/12 0 $-2
\f[R]
.fi
.PP
Often, you\[aq]ll want to see just one line per interval.
The \f[C]--depth\f[R] option helps with this, causing subaccounts to be
aggregated:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
$ hledger register --monthly assets --depth 1h
2008/01 assets $1 $1
2008/06 assets $-1 0
2008/12 assets $-1 $-1
\f[R]
.fi
.PP
Note when using report intervals, if you specify start/end dates these
will be adjusted outward if necessary to contain a whole number of
intervals.
This ensures that the first and last intervals are full length and
comparable to the others in the report.
.SS Custom register output
.PP
register uses the full terminal width by default, except on windows.
You can override this by setting the \f[C]COLUMNS\f[R] environment
variable (not a bash shell variable) or by using the
\f[C]--width\f[R]/\f[C]-w\f[R] option.
.PP
The description and account columns normally share the space equally
(about half of (width - 40) each).
You can adjust this by adding a description width as part of
--width\[aq]s argument, comma-separated: \f[C]--width W,D\f[R] .
Here\[aq]s a diagram (won\[aq]t display correctly in --help):
.IP

\f[R]
.fi
.PP
and some examples:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
$ hledger reg # use terminal width (or 80 on windows)
$ hledger reg -w 100 # use width 100
$ COLUMNS=100 hledger reg # set with one-time environment variable
$ export COLUMNS=100; hledger reg # set till session end (or window resize)

$ hledger reg -w $COLUMNS,40 # use terminal width, & description width 40
\f[R]

.SS Add-on commands
.PP
hledger also searches for external add-on commands, and will include
these in the commands list.
These are programs or scripts in your PATH whose name starts with
\f[C]hledger-\f[R] and ends with a recognised file extension (currently:
no extension, \f[C]bat\f[R],\f[C]com\f[R],\f[C]exe\f[R],
\f[C]hs\f[R],\f[C]lhs\f[R],\f[C]pl\f[R],\f[C]py\f[R],\f[C]rb\f[R],\f[C]rkt\f[R],\f[C]sh\f[R]).
Any programs or scripts in your PATH named named
\f[C]hledger-SOMETHING\f[R] will also appear in the commands list (with
a \f[C]+\f[R] mark).
These are called add-on commands.
.PP
Add-ons can be invoked like any hledger command, but there are a few
things to be aware of.
Eg if the \f[C]hledger-web\f[R] add-on is installed,
These offical add-ons are maintained and released along with hledger:
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[C]hledger -h web\f[R] shows hledger\[aq]s help, while
ui an efficient terminal interface for hledger (TUI)
.IP \[bu] 2
web a simple web interface for hledger (WUI)
.PP
These add-ons are maintained separately:
.IP \[bu] 2
iadd a more interactive alternative for the add command
.IP \[bu] 2
interest generates interest transactions according to various schemes
.IP \[bu] 2
stockquotes downloads market prices for your commodities from
AlphaVantage \f[I](experimental)\f[R]
.PP
Additional experimental add-ons, which may not be in a working state,
can be found in the bin/ directory in the hledger repo.
.SS Add-on command flags
.PP
In a hledger command line, add-on command flags must have a double dash
(\f[C]--\f[R]) preceding them.
Eg you must write:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
$ hledger web -- --serve
\f[R]
.fi
.PP
and not:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
$ hledger web --serve
\f[R]
.fi
.PP
(because the \f[C]--serve\f[R] flag belongs to \f[C]hledger-web\f[R],
not \f[C]hledger\f[R]).
.PP
The \f[C]-h/--help\f[R] and \f[C]--version\f[R] flags work without
\f[C]--\f[R], with their position deciding which program they refer to.
Eg \f[C]hledger -h web\f[R] shows hledger\[aq]s help,
\f[C]hledger web -h\f[R] shows hledger-web\[aq]s help.
.PP
If you have any trouble with this, remember you can always run the
add-on program directly, eg:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
$ hledger-web --serve
\f[R]
.fi
.SS Making add-on commands
.PP
Add-on commands are programs or scripts in your PATH
.IP \[bu] 2
Flags specific to the add-on must have a preceding \f[C]--\f[R] to hide
them from hledger.
So \f[C]hledger web --serve --port 9000\f[R] will be rejected; you must
use \f[C]hledger web -- --serve --port 9000\f[R].
whose name starts with \f[C]hledger-\f[R]
.IP \[bu] 2
You can always run add-ons directly if preferred:
\f[C]hledger-web --serve --port 9000\f[R].
whose name ends with a recognised file extension:
\f[C].bat\f[R],\f[C].com\f[R],\f[C].exe\f[R],
\f[C].hs\f[R],\f[C].lhs\f[R],\f[C].pl\f[R],\f[C].py\f[R],\f[C].rb\f[R],\f[C].rkt\f[R],\f[C].sh\f[R]
or none

and (on unix, mac) which are executable by the current user.
.PP
Add-ons are a relatively easy way to add local features or experiment
with new ideas.
They can be written in any language, but haskell scripts have a big
advantage: they can use the same hledger (and haskell) library functions
that built-in commands do, for command-line options, journal parsing,
reporting, etc.
.PP
Two important add-ons are the hledger-ui and hledger-web user
interfaces.
These are maintained and released along with hledger:
.SS ui
.PP
hledger-ui provides an efficient terminal interface.
.SS web
.PP
hledger-web provides a simple web interface.
.PP
Third party add-ons, maintained separately from hledger, include:
.SS iadd
.PP
hledger-iadd is a more interactive, terminal UI replacement for the add
command.
.SS interest
.PP
hledger-interest generates interest transactions for an account
according to various schemes.
.SS stockquotes
.PP
hledger-stockquotes downloads market prices for the commodities in your
journal from AlphaVantage.

A few more experimental or old add-ons can be found in hledger\[aq]s
bin/ directory.
These are typically prototypes and not guaranteed to work.

COMMANDS
hledger provides a number of subcommands; hledger with no arguments
shows a list.
hledger provides a number of commands for producing reports and manag-
ing your data. Run hledger with no arguments to list the commands
available.
If you install additional hledger-* packages, or if you put programs or
scripts named hledger-NAME in your PATH, these will also be listed as
subcommands.
To run a command, write its name (or its abbreviation shown in the com-
mands list, or any unambiguous prefix of the name) as hledger's first
argument. Eg: hledger balance or hledger bal.
Run a subcommand by writing its name as first argument (eg hledger in-
comestatement). You can also write one of the standard short aliases
displayed in parentheses in the command list (hledger b), or any any
unambiguous prefix of a command name (hledger inc).
Here are the built-in commands:
Here are all the builtin commands in alphabetical order. See also
hledger for a more organised command list, and hledger CMD -h for de-
tailed command help.

List the unique payee/payer names that appear in transactions.
This command lists the unique payee/payer names that appear in transac-
tions, in alphabetic order. You can add a query to select a subset of
transactions. The payee/payer is the part of the transaction descrip-
tion before a | character (or if there is no |, the whole description).
Example:
$ hledger payees
Store Name

prices
prices
Print market price directives from the journal. With --costs, also
print synthetic market prices based on transaction prices. With --in-
verted-costs, also print inverse prices based on transaction prices.
Prices (and postings providing prices) can be filtered by a query.
Price amounts are always displayed with their full precision.
print
print, txns, p
Show transaction journal entries, sorted by date.
The print command displays full journal entries (transactions) from the
journal file in date order, tidily formatted. With --date2, transac-
tions are sorted by secondary date instead.
print's output is always a valid hledger journal.
It preserves all transaction information, but it does not preserve di-
rectives or inter-transaction comments
$ hledger print
2008/01/01 income

Normally, the journal entry's explicit or implicit amount style is pre-
served. For example, when an amount is omitted in the journal, it will
not appear in the output. Similarly, when a transaction price is im-
plied but not written, it will not appear in the output. You can use
the -x/--explicit flag to make all amounts and transaction prices ex-
plicit, which can be useful for troubleshooting or for making your
journal more readable and robust against data entry errors. -x is also
implied by using any of -B,-V,-X,--value.
Note, -x/--explicit will cause postings with a multi-commodity amount
(these can arise when a multi-commodity transaction has an implicit
amount) to be split into multiple single-commodity postings, keeping
the output parseable.
With -B/--cost, amounts with transaction prices are converted to cost
using that price. This can be used for troubleshooting.
With -m/--match and a STR argument, print will show at most one trans-
action: the one one whose description is most similar to STR, and is
most recent. STR should contain at least two characters. If there is
no similar-enough match, no transaction will be shown.
With --new, for each FILE being read, hledger reads (and writes) a spe-
cial state file (.latest.FILE in the same directory), containing the
latest transaction date(s) that were seen last time FILE was read.
When this file is found, only transactions with newer dates (and new
transactions on the latest date) are printed. This is useful for ig-
noring already-seen entries in import data, such as downloaded CSV
files. Eg:
$ hledger -f bank1.csv print --new
(shows transactions added since last print --new on this file)
This assumes that transactions added to FILE always have same or in-
creasing dates, and that transactions on the same day do not get re-
ordered. See also the import command.
This command also supports the output destination and output format op-
tions The output formats supported are txt, csv, and (experimental)
json and sql.
Here's an example of print's CSV output:
$ hledger print -Ocsv

o There is one CSV record per posting, with the parent transaction's
fields repeated.
o The "txnidx" (transaction index) field shows which postings belong to
the same transaction. (This number might change if transactions are
reordered within the file, files are parsed/included in a different
order, etc.)
o The amount is separated into "commodity" (the symbol) and "amount"
(numeric quantity) fields.
o The numeric amount is repeated in either the "credit" or "debit" col-
umn, for convenience. (Those names are not accurate in the account-
ing sense; it just puts negative amounts under credit and zero or
greater amounts under debit.)
print-unique
print-unique
Print transactions which do not reuse an already-seen description.
Example:
$ cat unique.journal

register
register, reg, r
Show postings and their running total.
The register command displays matched postings, across all accounts, in
date order, with their running total or running historical balance.
(See also the aregister command, which shows matched transactions in a
specific account.)
register normally shows line per posting, but note that multi-commodity
amounts will occupy multiple lines (one line per commodity).
It is typically used with a query selecting a particular account, to
see that account's activity:
$ hledger register checking
2008/01/01 income assets:bank:checking $1 $1
2008/06/01 gift assets:bank:checking $1 $2
2008/06/02 save assets:bank:checking $-1 $1
2008/12/31 pay off assets:bank:checking $-1 0
With --date2, it shows and sorts by secondary date instead.
The --historical/-H flag adds the balance from any undisplayed prior
postings to the running total. This is useful when you want to see
only recent activity, with a historically accurate running balance:
$ hledger register checking -b 2008/6 --historical
2008/06/01 gift assets:bank:checking $1 $2
2008/06/02 save assets:bank:checking $-1 $1

The --depth option limits the amount of sub-account detail displayed.
The --average/-A flag shows the running average posting amount instead
of the running total (so, the final number displayed is the average for
the whole report period). This flag implies --empty (see below). It
is affected by --historical. It works best when showing just one ac-
count and one commodity.
The --related/-r flag shows the other postings in the transactions of
the postings which would normally be shown.
The --invert flag negates all amounts. For example, it can be used on
an income account where amounts are normally displayed as negative num-
bers. It's also useful to show postings on the checking account to-
gether with the related account:
$ hledger register --related --invert assets:checking
With a reporting interval, register shows summary postings, one per in-
terval, aggregating the postings to each account:
$ hledger register --monthly income
2008/01 income:salary $-1 $-1
2008/06 income:gifts $-1 $-2
Periods with no activity, and summary postings with a zero amount, are
not shown by default; use the --empty/-E flag to see them:
$ hledger register --monthly income -E
2008/01 income:salary $-1 $-1
2008/02 0 $-1
2008/03 0 $-1
2008/04 0 $-1
2008/05 0 $-1
2008/06 income:gifts $-1 $-2
2008/07 0 $-2
2008/08 0 $-2
2008/09 0 $-2
2008/10 0 $-2
2008/11 0 $-2
2008/12 0 $-2
Often, you'll want to see just one line per interval. The --depth op-
tion helps with this, causing subaccounts to be aggregated:
$ hledger register --monthly assets --depth 1h
2008/01 assets $1 $1
2008/06 assets $-1 0
2008/12 assets $-1 $-1
Note when using report intervals, if you specify start/end dates these
will be adjusted outward if necessary to contain a whole number of in-
tervals. This ensures that the first and last intervals are full
length and comparable to the others in the report.
Custom register output
register uses the full terminal width by default, except on windows.
You can override this by setting the COLUMNS environment variable (not
a bash shell variable) or by using the --width/-w option.
The description and account columns normally share the space equally
(about half of (width - 40) each). You can adjust this by adding a de-
scription width as part of --width's argument, comma-separated: --width
W,D . Here's a diagram (won't display correctly in --help):
<--------------------------------- width (W) ---------------------------------->
date (10) description (D) account (W-41-D) amount (12) balance (12)
DDDDDDDDDD dddddddddddddddddddd aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa AAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA
and some examples:
$ hledger reg # use terminal width (or 80 on windows)
$ hledger reg -w 100 # use width 100
$ COLUMNS=100 hledger reg # set with one-time environment variable
$ export COLUMNS=100; hledger reg # set till session end (or window resize)
$ hledger reg -w 100,40 # set overall width 100, description width 40
$ hledger reg -w $COLUMNS,40 # use terminal width, & description width 40
This command also supports the output destination and output format op-
tions The output formats supported are txt, csv, and (experimental)
json.
register-match
register-match
Print the one posting whose transaction description is closest to DESC,
in the style of the register command. If there are multiple equally
good matches, it shows the most recent. Query options (options, not
arguments) can be used to restrict the search space. Helps ledger-au-
tosync detect already-seen transactions when importing.
rewrite
rewrite
Print all transactions, rewriting the postings of matched transactions.

Add-on commands
hledger also searches for external add-on commands, and will include
these in the commands list. These are programs or scripts in your PATH
whose name starts with hledger- and ends with a recognised file exten-
sion (currently: no extension, bat,com,exe, hs,lhs,pl,py,rb,rkt,sh).
Any programs or scripts in your PATH named named hledger-SOMETHING will
also appear in the commands list (with a + mark). These are called
add-on commands.
Add-ons can be invoked like any hledger command, but there are a few
things to be aware of. Eg if the hledger-web add-on is installed,
These offical add-ons are maintained and released along with hledger:
o hledger -h web shows hledger's help, while hledger web -h shows
hledger-web's help.
o ui an efficient terminal interface for hledger (TUI)
o Flags specific to the add-on must have a preceding -- to hide them
from hledger. So hledger web --serve --port 9000 will be rejected;
you must use hledger web -- --serve --port 9000.
o web a simple web interface for hledger (WUI)
o You can always run add-ons directly if preferred: hledger-web --serve
--port 9000.
These add-ons are maintained separately:
o iadd a more interactive alternative for the add command
o interest generates interest transactions according to various schemes
o stockquotes downloads market prices for your commodities from Alpha-
Vantage (experimental)
Additional experimental add-ons, which may not be in a working state,
can be found in the bin/ directory in the hledger repo.
Add-on command flags
In a hledger command line, add-on command flags must have a double dash
(--) preceding them. Eg you must write:
$ hledger web -- --serve
and not:
$ hledger web --serve
(because the --serve flag belongs to hledger-web, not hledger).
The -h/--help and --version flags work without --, with their position
deciding which program they refer to. Eg hledger -h web shows
hledger's help, hledger web -h shows hledger-web's help.
If you have any trouble with this, remember you can always run the add-
on program directly, eg:
$ hledger-web --serve
Making add-on commands
Add-on commands are programs or scripts in your PATH
o whose name starts with hledger-
o whose name ends with a recognised file extension: .bat,.com,.exe,
.hs,.lhs,.pl,.py,.rb,.rkt,.sh or none
o and (on unix, mac) which are executable by the current user.
Add-ons are a relatively easy way to add local features or experiment
with new ideas. They can be written in any language, but haskell
scripts have a big advantage: they can use the same hledger (and
haskell) library functions that built-in commands do, for command-line
options, journal parsing, reporting, etc.
Two important add-ons are the hledger-ui and hledger-web user inter-
faces. These are maintained and released along with hledger:
ui
hledger-ui provides an efficient terminal interface.
web
hledger-web provides a simple web interface.
Third party add-ons, maintained separately from hledger, include:
iadd
hledger-iadd is a more interactive, terminal UI replacement for the add
command.
interest
hledger-interest generates interest transactions for an account accord-
ing to various schemes.
stockquotes
hledger-stockquotes downloads market prices for the commodities in your
journal from AlphaVantage.
A few more experimental or old add-ons can be found in hledger's bin/
directory. These are typically prototypes and not guaranteed to work.
scripts have a big advantage: they can use the same hledger library
functions that built-in commands use for command-line options, parsing
and reporting.
