payees List the payee/payer names used or declared in the journal. Flags: --used list payees used --declared list payees declared --undeclared list payees used but not declared --unused list payees declared but not used --find list the first payee matched by the first argument (a case-insensitive infix regexp) This command lists unique payee/payer names - all of them by default, or just the ones which have been used in transaction descriptions, or declared with payee directives, or used but not declared, or declared but not used, or just the first one matched by a pattern (with --find, returning a non-zero exit code if it fails). The payee/payer name is the part of the transaction description before a | character (or if there is no |, the whole description). You can add query arguments to select a subset of transactions or payees. Example: $ hledger payees Store Name Gas Station Person A
