Dear R Folks, I know that Enrique Bengoechea ( Credit Suisse ) had posted some code snippets for importing Bloomberg historical data into R. I found them to be very useful. Has anyone succeeded in getting the below items from Bloomberg to R? (a) historical economic release data, (b) tick/intra-day data (c) bulk data such as Index membership info, etc. If someone is willing to share their code

...m trying to download data from Bloomberg through R. If I try to download intraday data for multiple tickers and only one field, I get the error, written below in red.

...orry if this is obvious but I couldn''t find the answer in the Ruby/Rails docs. How do I use a variable as a substitute for a method/field, so that I can call the object with the variable that contains the method name. For example, say I have the object Product, that has methods Price, Last_Price, Average_Price. I want to be able to return the value of either of those three fields based on the user selection. Ie, user selection is stored in params[:foo], which I assign to variable field_to_show, and I want to be able to call: Product.field_to_show which should output Product.Price (i...

Hi everyone, I'd appreciate if someone could help me to understand what is happening. I'm attempting to connect R to the broker platform using tcp on localhost 5333. Just to learn how use make.socket, write.socket, ..functions I wrote simple code: #prepare string command to subscribe ask and bid price on Italian stock #this should be a push stream like: #First stream:

...(var) Method calls are just messages send to objects, so you can use the #send method to do that. In ActiveRecords''s case, there''s a special convenience method that should work: ar_instance[var] > > For example, say I have the object Product, that has methods Price, > Last_Price, Average_Price. > > I want to be able to return the value of either of those three fields > based on the user selection.
