Extract Data from Yahoo Finance

Joshua,

Thank you very much for your response.

How can I use getQuote to download data for a stock for a certain period of
time, say, 1 October 2011 to 31 October 2011.

Once again, thank very much for the time you have given.

Regards,

Deb

Deb,

See getQuote in the quantmod package.? For example:
getQuote("SPY")

Be sure to read ?getQuote.

Best,

Michael,

Thanks for your response.

The link to the page is: http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm

I like to download the fields (mentioned under special tags) for a period
of time and for a particular stock (or for a list of stocks).

Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.

Regards,

Deb

The quantmod package can probably do what you are asking, but it's a
little hard to be certain since you provide neither a list of all the
fields you are actually talking about nor a link to the page with the
fields in question.
