       format.


SECTION

       pilot-link: Userland conduits


SYNOPSIS

        pilot-read-expenses [-p|--port <port>] [-q|--quiet] [--version]
       [-?|--help] [--usage] [-w|--write]


DESCRIPTION

        pilot-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.

       If you have expense entries saved on your Palm in the ExpenseDB.pdb
       file, you can export them to a simple text format, and redirect that to
       a file/pipe, or STDOUT (the default) using pilot-read-expenses.

       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 2004
