Hello,
I use getSymbols function daily to run some models with stock data. Today
when I tried to update the stock info i get this error
Error in charToDate(x) :
character string is not in a standard unambiguous format
Sometimes I get it after 2 symbols, other times after 150 symbols, another
time after 40 symbols, then after 203 symbols.
The code for the symbol list is:
lista<-read.csv("lista.csv", header=FALSE)
lista.list.ana<-vector('list',nrow(lista))
names(lista.list.ana) <- lista[,1]
lista.sum<-as.vector(lista[,1])
##actualizar la lista
lista_simbolos<-download_symbols(lista.sum, lista.list.ana)
*The code for the function download_symbols is:*
download_symbols<- function(lista.sum.,lista.list.ana..){
newnames.<- c("Open", "High", "Low", "Close", "Volume", "Adjusted")
for (m in 1:length(lista.sum.))
{
print(paste(c("Downloading symbol ", lista.sum.[m], ". ", length(lista.sum.
)-m, " symbols missing"), sep="", collapse=""))
temp<-get(loadSymbols(lista.sum.[m]))
names(temp)<-newnames.
#lista.list.ana..[[m]]<-loadSymbols(lista.sum.[m])
lista.list.ana..[[m]]<-temp
}
return(lista.list.ana..)
}
Is it something wrong with yahoo? I tried google and got another error
Error in `colnames<-`(`*tmp*`, value = c("Open", "High", "Low", "Close", :
length of 'dimnames' [2] not equal to array extent
Thanks for your help
