count descriptions?

[jungle-boogie]

Hello,

Assume I want to see how many times I've been to costco and I want to use hledger to do.
I know I can grep/rg the file, but is there an hledger way to give me a count?

hledger print desc:costco will list all the transactions
hledger register -m costco will tell me the most recent amount I've spent
hledger bal --count shows total number of transactions across all accounts

What's the right command to tell me how many times I've been to costco?

Thanks!

And of course I would eventually like to know how much I spent at Costco for a given month/year/week, etc.

I can probably do that with tags, if i were to add a tag to every transactions, but I would think the description field would be good enough to filter and contain all this data.

ah, ha!

This does it: hledger bal desc:Costco --count
