Simon Michael c31710d942 look harder for decimal point & digit groups (fixes #196)
Amount display styles have been reworked a bit; they are now calculated
after journal parsing, not during it. This allows the fix for #196:
we now search through the amounts until a decimal point is detected,
instead of just looking at the first one; likewise for digit groups.
Digit groups are now implemented with a better type.

Digit group size detection has been improved a little:
1000,000 now gives group sizes [3,4,4,...], not [3,3,...], and
10,000 gives groups sizes [3,3,...] not [3,2,2,..].
(To get [3,2,2,...] you'd use eg 00,00,000.)

There are still some old (or new ?) issues; I don't think we handle
inconsistent decimal points & digit groups too well. But for now all
tests pass.

hledger

lightweight, portable, dependable accounting tools

hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities, on unix, mac and windows (and web-capable mobile devices, to some extent).

It is first a command-line tool, but there is also a web interface and a Haskell library (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib) for building your own programs and scripts (hledger is written in Haskell). hledger was inspired by and is largely compatible with Ledger. hledger is free software available under the GNU General Public License v3+.

hledger aims to help both computer experts and regular folks to gain clarity and control in their finances and time management, but currently it is a bit more suited to techies. I use it every day to:

  • track spending and income
  • see time reports by day/week/month/project
  • get accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing
  • track invoices

Though limited in features, hledger is lightweight, usable and reliable. For some, it is a simpler, less distracting, more future-proof alternative to Quicken or GnuCash.
