Dear all Is there any R function that would perform currency conversion using up-to-date exchange rates? I would be looking for a function that allows to download recent exchange rates (say, from Yahoo!) and then use these in converting currencies (say, USD to EUR).

Hi R, I am familiar with the basics of R. To learn more I would like how to get data from Yahoo!finance directly into R. So basically I want a data frame or matrix to do some data analysis. How do I do this? Thank you very much.
