Hi R users, I have a problem in downloading Yahoo Finance data from R. I have tried an example given in R, to download. The error is given below: >library(fCalendar) > yahooImport("s=IBM&a=11&b=1&c=1999&d=0&q=31&f=2000&z=IBM&x=.csv ", file = "D:\\ Downlaod",source = "http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?", save = FALSE, sep = ";", swap = 20, try = TRUE) trying URL 'http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=IBM&a=11&...

...s with various numbers of days, not simply 1/12th of a year. It is unclear to me how sophisticated the aggregator is in this regard. I have V&R but it seems there may be some SPlus/R differences here. Any suggestions for documents that addresses these issues would be wonderful.

Dear R People: In library(its), there is a command priceIts. There is a problem with this command. It is returning an error message: > ibm1 <- priceIts(instrument="ibm",start="1998-01-01",quote="Open") Error in download.file(url, destfile, method = method, quiet = quiet) : cannot open URL `http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=ibm&a=0&b=01&c=1998&d=5&e=30&f=2004&g=d&am...

Hi ALL: I am trying to use get.help.quote from library(tseries). I tried to run the example from help(get.hist.quote) but R complained.

Hi, i really positive surprised when i found the "get.hist.quote" but didn't now why i get with the examples from Online-Help errorMessages. Perhaps their is a problem with POSIX and my OS WIN2000/R1.5.1 ?

Both get.hist.quote, and its derivative priceIts, rely on download.file() to fetch financial data series from Yahoo! in .csv format. They allow for nice interactive demonstrations of what one can do with R. Unfortunately, both are currently broken as Yahoo! decided to add a somewhat useless html comment at the end of the csv 'stream', breaking the regular format of n rows with k columns.
