[R] New to R

I am newly subscribed to r-project.


I have recently plunged into R on a totally self-taught basis (may not have been
the smartest decision!)



I am attempting to download tickers as a time series.  I can successfully create
RDA files but I want to convert them to CVS.  Following is the code I have
created so far.



if (!require(BatchGetSymbols)) install.packages('BatchGetSymbols')

library(BatchGetSymbols)

tickers <- c('SPY','VCR', 'RPG')

first.date <- Sys.Date()-365

last.date <- Sys.Date

l.out <- BatchGetSymbols(tickers = tickers,

       first.date = first.date,

       last.date = last.date,

cache.folder = file.path("c://Users/Owner/Documents/R",

+    'BGS_Cache') )

print(l.out$df.control)

print(l.out$df.tickers)







I can print(l.out) and see that it contains all the data, but it is not a
data.frame



Can anyone help with creating a data.frame and then converting to CSV?



Any help is GREATLY appreciated!



Thanks



Jim

Others may help, but I suggest first going through an R tutorial or
two to learn about R's basic data structures, i/o, etc. This list can
help, but cannot substitute for such homework. Some tutorial
recommendations can be found here:
https://www.rstudio.com/online-learning/#r-programming

There are many more, of course.

See also:
?read.table (etc. in the Help page)
?write.table

Cheers,
Bert

Dear Jim

Without knowing what l.out is this might be tricky. What does str(l.out) 
tell you it is. And is CVS a typo for csv?

I am newly subscribed to r-project.


I have recently plunged into R on a totally self-taught basis (may not have been
the smartest decision!)



I am attempting to download tickers as a time series. I can successfully create
RDA files but I want to convert them to CVS. Following is the code I have
created so far.



if (!require(BatchGetSymbols)) install.packages('BatchGetSymbols')

library(BatchGetSymbols)

tickers <- c('SPY','VCR', 'RPG')

first.date<http://first.date> <- Sys.Date()-365

last.date<http://last.date> <- Sys.Date<http://Sys.Date>

l.out <- BatchGetSymbols(tickers = tickers,

first.date<http://first.date> = first.date<http://first.date>,

last.date<http://last.date> = last.date<http://last.date>,

cache.folder = file.path("c://Users/Owner/Documents/R",

+ 'BGS_Cache') )

print(l.out$df.control)

print(l.out$df.tickers)







I can print(l.out) and see that it contains all the data, but it is not a
data.frame



Can anyone help with creating a data.frame and then converting to CSV?



Any help is GREATLY appreciated!



Thanks
