# GNUCash's XML to Ledger's Dat File
> A script to convert GNUCash's XML file to Ledger's dat file
[convert.pl](./convert.pl) is the script to convert GnuCash's uncompressed XML
file to a Ledger journal. I run it using Perl 5.26 on a computer running Ubuntu
18.04.
The file formats for ledger and hledger are very similar, I have been able to
generate repors using hledger for the dat file created by the conversion script.
**Note:** There are [other scripts][1] which do the same thing as the Perl
script in this repository.
## Recipes
### Don't install anything
```sh
hledger () {
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/data -w /data dastapov/hledger hledger $@
}
ledger () {
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/data -w /data dcycle/ledger:1 $@
}
```
### Display numbers in the correct format
Commodity directives can be used to ensure that numbers are always displayed in
the appropriate format.
```ledger
$ cat commodities.dat
commodity JPY 1,000,000.
commodity EUR 1,000,000.00
commodity USD 1,000,000.00
commodity INR 10,00,000.
; Enter the appropriate exchange rate for the various commodities here
P 2020-02-08 EUR 0.001 USD
```
### Generate common accounting reports
```sh
hledger -f simple.dat incomestatement
hledger -f simple.dat balancesheet
hledger -f simple.dat cashflow
```
### Display all balances in a single currency at present exchange rate
```sh
# You _must_ have the exchange rate in USD for all the commodities in the
# commodities.dat file
hledger -f simple.dat bal Assets -Y --value=now,USD
```
