Hi, I have following problem when trying to feed an CSV file to quantmod using following command:> getSymbols("test1",src="csv")Error in charToDate(x) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format The sample test1.csv file contents: Symbol, Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume ABCDATA,2010-06-17,2.47,2.47,2.36,2.36,469299 ABCDATA,2010-06-18,2.38,2.39,2.36,2.38,77306 Before, I tried with a Date field without Date separators: Symbol, Date, Open, High, Low, Close, Volume ABCDATA,20100617,2.47,2.47,2.36,2.36,469299 ABCDATA,20100618,2.38,2.39,2.36,2.38,77306 But I ended up with a same Error message. My question is where am I making mistake? It seems that Date field is not properly handled. How can one properly feed into quantmod OHLC csv file? I am using Windows edition of R v. 2.13.0 Best wishes to all, Sven Strek
