14:52:23 <Rommedahl> Hello. I need some help with online qoutes for shares.
14:52:30 *** andrewsw is now known as andrewsw-afk
14:54:28 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
14:54:56 <warlord> Rommedahl: so what kind of help do you need?
14:55:59 <Rommedahl> warlord: I tried to follow the guide in the docs.
14:56:35 <Rommedahl> I tried to run the "perldoc Finance::Quote"
14:57:01 <Rommedahl> But got this answear "perldoc Finance::Quote"
14:57:07 <Rommedahl> sorry
14:57:18 <Rommedahl> "You need to install the perl-doc package to use this program."
14:58:34 <warlord> Why are you trying to run "perldoc" on it?
14:59:16 <Rommedahl> The GnuCash Tutorial and Concepts Guide told me to.
14:59:26 <warlord> eh? URL?
15:00:07 <Rommedahl> I downloaded it with synaptic... but I going to try to find it online
15:02:15 <warlord> Let's refocus on the problem. What is your actual problem with getting quotes that LED you to try to read the F::Q documentation?
15:04:47 <Rommedahl> I want first to say that I am from sweden and if something I say seems wierd it's probably because I don't master english that good.
15:05:06 <Rommedahl> And I have used Linux for a little more than 6 months...
15:07:10 <warlord> that's fine...
15:07:39 <Rommedahl> My problem is that I added a Stock I have. RayClinic on the First North Exchange and tried to do a online qoute download. but It did not work out. And then I thought it would be good to find out if "Finance::Quote" is intalled or not.
15:08:23 <warlord> try: gnc-fq-dump <exchange> <ticker>
15:09:13 <Rommedahl> In the terminal I guess?
15:09:32 <warlord> yes
15:10:01 <Rommedahl> I copy-pasted and got this answear. "bash: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
15:10:01 <Rommedahl> "
15:12:47 <Rommedahl> any other command I could try?
15:13:55 <Rommedahl> here is the document I use: http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v1.8/C/gnucash-guide/invest_stockprice1.html
15:14:24 *** sjc has joined #gnucash
15:15:58 <Rommedahl> or this one (newer): http://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.0/C/gnucash-guide/invest-stockprice1.html#invest-stockprice-auto2
15:16:57 *** andrewsw-afk is now known as andrewsw
15:20:26 <warlord> Rommedahl: Umm... Did you copy that command directly???????????
15:20:40 <warlord> No.. You're supposed to fill in the <exchange> and <ticker> with your values.
15:20:49 <Rommedahl> oh.
15:21:07 <Rommedahl> perhaps I should try some values that you know to work...
15:25:01 <Rommedahl> it worked!
15:25:04 <Rommedahl> rommedahl@Storebror:~$ gnc-fq-dump NASDAQ AMZN
15:25:05 <Rommedahl> Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
15:25:05 <Rommedahl> symbol: AMZN <=== required

15:25:26 <warlord> Note that Yahoo quote source is broken.
15:25:39 <Rommedahl> oh. I am so sorry.... did not now It would become so many etries.
15:25:52 <Rommedahl> I am not a IRC-user normaly.
15:26:24 <Rommedahl> Oh. What sources are the best?
15:27:54 *** sjc has quit IRC
15:28:58 *** sjc has joined #gnucash
15:36:23 <warlord> I dont know. You'll need to figure it out. But I know that yahoo changed their site so it requires and F::Q update.
15:37:28 <Rommedahl> what is F::Q?
15:39:09 <andrewsw> Rommedahl: F::Q is short for Finance::QUote, the perl libraries that provide online quote gathering.
15:50:08 <cortana> in debian this is probided by libfinance-quote-perl
15:50:14 <cortana> *provided
15:53:41 *** twunder has quit IRC
16:05:51 <Rommedahl> I made it work out! =)
16:06:01 <Rommedahl> Thank you warlord for the help.
16:11:00 <warlord> you're welcome
