Subject: how to rename stock codes?

Hello Sage R people,

 

I am able to retrieve data and rename the stock code one by one through quantmod package as the following:

 

symbols<-c("AAPL","MSFT")

stockcodes<-c("A","B")

setSymbolLookup(A=list(name="AAPL",src="yahoo"))

getSymbols("A")

setSymbolLookup(B=list(name=?MSFT",src="yahoo"))


getSymbols(?B")

 

 

However, the same logic is not approachable in the ?mass production era? like this:

 

for (i in 1:2)

{

  getSymbolLookup(stockcodes[i]=list(name=symbols[i],src="yahoo"))

  getSymbols("stockcodes[i]")

}

 

I guess the problem lies in stockcodes[i] as indicated in red. Any comment would be appreciated.



Thanks in advance,
