Converter from .csv format file to .ledger file to use with Ledger CLI
- Enter path to yours .csv format file:
Attention! Do not enter path like ~/Downloads/something.csv instead of this use:
MacOS: /Users/user/Downloads/something.csv
Windows: C:\\Users\\User\\Downloads\\something.csv
- The script converts the CSV into a Ledger-compatible .ledger file in the current directory (transactions.ledger).
- If you want to save .ledger file to custom directory then add the following to your code:
In function def convert_csv_to_ledger(input_csv): output_ledger = os.path.join(output_dir, "transactions.ledger")
At the end of file: output_dir = input("Enter the directory to save the Ledger file: ").strip()
The script maps the transaction types to Ledger accounts. You can customize the account mappings in the map_account function.
The script writes transactions with debit and credit entries, and includes a memo if provided.
