Hi

Does anyone have a minimal working example for this particular case?:

A useful pattern is to include MD5Sum comments for both "sides" of a transaction if you download from multiple sources that resolve to a single transaction (e.g. paying a credit card from checking).

Excerpt from

--skip-dupes

will attempt to detect duplicate transactions in ledger file by comparing MD5Sum of transactions. The MD5Sum is calculated from the formatted CSV values including the source account. The source account is included to avoid false positives on generic transaction descriptions when the source account is different and thus should not be considered a duplicate. MD5Sum of existing transactions are as a ; MD5Sum: ... comment in the current ledger file (which means your output template will need this comment). This can help if you download statements without using a precise date range. A useful pattern is to include MD5Sum comments for both "sides" of a transaction if you download from multiple sources that resolve to a single transaction (e.g. paying a credit card from checking). Note: use of this flag by itself will detect and skip duplicate entries automatically with no interaction from user. If you want to be prompted and determine whether to skip or not see --confirm-dupes.

Take a look in #117, found a few gotchas which may help get this working.
