more complex transaction support

Does reckon support more complicated transactions like so?

Happy holidays @divansantana and thanks for your interest in reckon. Sorry about the delay getting back to you.

You mean you'd like to split a transaction into separate categories? Current it's not something that reckon supports, but it is something I've been thinking about adding.

Were you thinking you'd use this in interactive mode only? Or also in unattended mode?

[divansantana]

@benprew no problem :) Happy holidays.

Yes split transaction into seperate categories. Would be nice in unattended mode.

Would be a nice to have. Otherwise reckon is working well for me, thanks!

Hey @divansantana , I looked into this a little more and the current unattended mode tokens format isn't well suited to splitting transactions. So, for now, I'll focus on splitting transactions when doing manual input.

I am working on version that supports this function in interactive mode, but I'm not very strong in ruby. I wanted to "necromance" this thread to see if any further interest and/or progress has been initiated on the development side.

Hi @tbraun84 I haven't been working on this much, but I think it's a valuable feature! If you have any questions I'm happy to answer them, you can email me at ben@throwingbones.com and I'd be happy to review any PR you put up.

Thanks!
