Running import2ledger
|
||||||
|
---------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once you've written a configuration file with your templates and any other configuration you need, you can run it with data to import::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$ import2ledger [options …] file1.csv [file2.csv …]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
import2ledger will read all the data sources and generate bookkeeping entries from them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
import2ledger needs to be able to seek within the source files. Because of that, your input files need to be normal files, or symlinks to them. Special files like devices and FIFOs aren't supported by import2ledger.
