09:01:33 <lmat> So in scheme, function names can have "->" in them?
09:02:21 <warlord> lmat: yes. that usually indicates a transform function, e.g. list->string
09:07:29 <lmat> warlord: Thanks. That will help a lot :-)
09:07:53 <lmat> and ":" can be in a function name?
09:08:15 <lmat> So "gnc:timepair->secs" is a function name (not a function in a namespace, or anything like that)?
09:10:37 *** SquidFingers has joined #gnucash
09:13:14 <warlord> lmat: correct. there are no "namespaces" per se in scheme -- it's a global environment.
09:13:41 <warlord> Although by convention foo: is a "namespace" -- to differentiate foo:bar from bar:bar
09:14:34 <lmat> warlord: Sort of like 'xacc_' ?
09:17:31 <warlord> yep
09:17:32 <warlord> or gnc_
09:17:34 <warlord> ;)

14:58:26 <john3voltas> good evening
14:58:37 <john3voltas> just started learning gnucash
15:01:10 <john3voltas> no previous experience with financing products. i have already managed to automatically import 5 years of bank account movements through csv.
15:03:14 <john3voltas> but my question is, nowadays you can buy a whole lot of different stuff in a super market. you can buy vegetables, meat, automobile oil, light bulbs, clothes, etc. all that goes into gnucash in a single bank account movement. how can i break that out into categories?
15:07:49 *** fabior has quit IRC

15:15:45 *** kael has joined #gnucash
15:19:12 <warlord> john3voltas: a split transaction.
15:20:43 <warlord> But if you're importing, you'll need to split it afterwards... and most likely the importer wont recognize it as the "same" once it's split.
15:20:52 <john3voltas> oh
15:21:52 <john3voltas> but i'm ok with splitting it afterwards. as long as i keep some evidence of the real original transaction
15:23:28 <john3voltas> warlord: this? https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-guide/txns-registers-txntypes.html
15:24:04 <warlord> yes
15:24:15 <john3voltas> cool. thanks :)
15:24:24 <warlord> And there is evidence. In your checking (bank) account it will still contain the total amount.
15:24:40 <warlord> But instead of listing a single account in the 'transfer' column, it will say 'split transaction'
15:24:48 <warlord> The description remains the same (e.g. the store name)
15:25:21 <john3voltas> that's what i want, to have it all in the bank checking account but somehow being able to break it into categories
