Thanks, that's what I thought... so not native way for it?

I find that would be nice thing. Maybe a patch is in order.

Here's a batch file to print a transaction number's block:

Code:

@echo off
setlocal enableextensions

for /f "tokens=* delims=:" %%a in (
'bitcoind gettransaction %1 ^| find "blockhash"'
) do (
set trans=%%a
)

for /f "tokens=3" %%G IN (%trans%) DO (set bhash=%%G)

for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (
'bitcoind getblock %bhash%" ^| find "height"'
) do (
set blknum=%%a
)

echo %blknum%
echo %bhash%

Programatically you could do "listtransactions", a bunch of these:

{
"account" : "",
"address" : "mjF49o7VKpGhPVnqGFJDELPFCeNRbWFYvb",
"category" : "generate",
"amount" : 50.00170000,
"confirmations" : 100600,
"generated" : true,
"blockhash" : "0000000000fb8329a24631d59371ca52724ea15e488b225682ddf7e5a4ee3be8",
"blockindex" : 0,
"blocktime" : 1366486115,
"txid" : "c1d51852a50df9da5c73d7b3023b99018c8d21730efff2854cd6a1c398b406bc",
"time" : 1366486115,
"timereceived" : 1366486118
},

then if category = generate, do getblock blockhash and extract height.

Please remind me, when you generate blocks, how to show also the block number of them?
listtransactions seems to not show height.

Even gettransaction doesn't.

Well listtransactions and then getblock shows height, but that's 2 step...

You could calculate it from confirmations field, but that's not nice hack.

Any simple solution to list all transactions (or, all generated) including their height? Or do we need to patch source for this?
