merging a list of xts objects

As L is now a list, you lose the xts dispatch.

Try:

do.call("merge",L)
           X1.1 X1.2 X1.3 X1.4 X2.1 X2.2 X2.3 X2.4 X3.1 X3.2 X3.3 X3.4

Hi,
i thought this should be pretty trivial, but i am missing something here
Why can't ?I merge a list L of xts objects (all even with the same index)
Thanks,
Jiri

# code
library(xts)

random.xts <- function(x0=1.0,n=100,k=10,c="A",rnd=F) {
?n.c <- length(c)*k
?if (rnd)
? ?x <- matrix(rnorm(n*n.c,x0,1),n,n.c)
?else
? ?x <- matrix(x0,n,n.c)

?t <- Sys.Date() - (1:n) -1
?x <- xts(x,t)
?colnames(x) <- paste(c,1:n.c,sep=".")
?return(x)
}

test <- function(n=10,k=4,c=3) {
?lapply(c(1:c),function(x) random.xts(x,n,k,paste(x)))
}

L <- test()
merge(L)
