Hi, everybody,

When I have free time I program in R in the office as well. However, I need
to use here only R-Fiddle http://www.r-fiddle.org (online R compiler).
Pretty cool stuff, however, one problem: getSymbols from quantmod doesn't
work. May be someone could help?

Thx a lot.

Alex

Details:
library(quantmod)
getSymbols("SPY")
Error: cannot open destfile '(null).65534.65534/filed1f450ed0a0', reason
'No such file or directory'

I tried already with defining env, auto.assign etc. Didn't help.

The problem isn't with quantmod::getSymbols. The problem is that
R-Fiddle (apparently) does not allow code to create temporary
files/directories in the usual way.  So any code that requires
temporary files/directories won't work with R-Fiddle.

So you need to contact them and ask why it doesn't work.
