Quantmod

getSymbols() returns an xts object (which is a subclass of zoo) by
default.  The dates in xts/zoo objects are stored in an "index"
attribute that is unique to xts/zoo objects, so write.table() doesn't
know to write this attribute to the file.

So you need to:
1) Give write.table() the rownames to use via:
write.table(IBM, file = "ibm-data.txt", row.names=index(IBM))
2) Or (my preference) use write.zoo():
write.zoo(IBM, file = "ibm-data.txt")

Hi fellow R users,

As a new user to r and quantmod i have the following problem. Using quantmod
for retrieving data from yahoo or google i am stuck in writing this data to
a text file.

getSymbols("IBM")

[1] "IBM"

write.table(IBM, file = "ibm-data.txt")

The text file created this way does not contain the date information.

So how could i best write quantmod data to a text file?

greetings,

Werner
