# EXAMPLES
## Collected examples
Many example input files in journal and other formats can be found
in `examples/` in the `hledger` repo.
## Sample journals
Synthetic data files like `examples/100x100x10.journal` are useful for benchmarks and testing.
The numbers describe the number of transactions, number of accounts, and maximum account depth respectively.
They are generated by [`tools/generatejournal.hs`](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/master/tools/generatejournal.hs).
They should get built automatically as needed, if not you can use `make samplejournals`:
```cli
$ make samplejournals
ghc tools/generatejournal.hs
