read-expenses − Connect to the Palm handheld and dump the Expense application data in a simple format
If you have expense entries saved on your Palm in the ExpenseDB.pdb file, you can dump them to a simple text format, and redirect that to a file/pipe, or STDOUT (the default) using read-expenses. The syntax is:
read-expenses [−p <port>]
The output data will resemble something like the following:
Category:
Unfiled
Type: 5
Payment: 7
Currency: 23
Amount: 400.00
Vendor: Super Salads
City: Westerly
Attendees: Joe, Mary, Bob
Note: Some simple note text
Date: Fri May 9 00:00:00 2003
read-expenses is used to output the Expense data in a simple text format, which can be used to import into any other application you wish, such as Excel or other application.
−p, −−port <port>
Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this is not specified, will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If both are not found or supplied, install−expenses will fall back to /dev/pilot.
−h, −−help
Display the help synopsis for pi−getram.
−v, −−version
Display version of pi−getram.
Connect to a target Palm handheld and dump the Expense data.
