This is a conversation for gnucash-devel not gnucash-user so I changed the posting. > On browsing the site, I see a mention of the possibility to run reports from > the command line, though it suggests that this is now broken. Is this so? (I > don't seem to be able to track down much documentation on command line > options within gnucash). I used to do this (and it used to be easy) by using the perl bindings to the engine. These are/were generated by SWIG. I don't think its hard to resurrect these. There's even a few example perl scripts in there somewhere. The biggest downside was that I couldn't figure out how to convert perl arrays to GLists's and back, and that made the perl API klunky to use. -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933 _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnucash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
