quantmod: getFinancials error

Hi Andy,

getFin screen-scrapes google.  It is pretty reliable, but not perfect.

The problem here is that there is no quarterly data on the site for
ANAT, so the function just fails.

see: http://www.google.com/finance?fstype=ci&q=NASDAQ:ANAT

I'll see if I can figure out a solution, but it may be more of a
one-off hack than really a solution.

See what you can come up with to solve this, and please share your successes!

Jeff

ANAT is a valid ticker in google finance.

However, the following code generates error in quantmod: getFinancials

stock='ANAT';
getFinancials(Symbol=stock, src='google');

Error in getFinancials(Symbol = stock, src = "google") :
? subscript out of bounds

what is wrong here?

Thanks in advance.
