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
