[R] acessing symbols dynamically through a gedit box using getsymbol function
I had tried a little weird way of accessing symbols from "YAHOO.FINANCE" in my GUI which is made in gwidgets ...Here is an example:-- tbl[5,1]=glabel("ENTER SYMBOL:-",cont=tbl) tbl[5,2]=gedit("", cont=tbl,coerce.with=as.character) BSS<-function(h,...) { options(guiToolkit="RGtk2") data <- new.env() getSymbols(svalue(tbl[5,2]),env = data, auto.assign = T) options("getSymbols.warning4.0"=FALSE) ashdata1<-data.frame(tbl[5,2]) } My question is I could not get those symbols from the getSymbol function , can any one show me some way how to access this symbols dynamically ,such that the users can specify any symbols and could access those data in a click of a button ..
