Re: [R] Help with passing in name of XTS file into write.table as a variable.

It is a simple change. If you don't save the results of getSymbol() into a variable, then it's not available for write.table() to write. Try mydata <- getSymbols(ticker,from='1990-01-01') write.table( mydata, {etc}) The help for write.table says that "x" (the first argument to write.table),

[R] Help with passing in name of XTS file into write.table as a variable.
