May I ask another question? I pass the installation. But when I try to load the package, it keeps saying that Rbdg does not exist which is weird to me. Just wondering you ran into the same issue? My R version is 2.15.1. Thank you.
library(Rbdg)
Error in library(Rbdg) : there is no package called ?Rbdg?

RBloomberg has been superseded by 'Rbbg' (a quick google search will explain
the backstory)
You can install the latest version by entering the following command in your
R session:
install.packages('Rbbg',repos='http://r.findata.org')
The documentation should ably get you started.

Hi, I am wondering what the best way to interact with Bloomberg from within R now. I am trying to download RBloomberg by following instruction at the following website from findata.org. It turns out that the instruction seems stale. I cannot locate the package. http://findata.org/rbloomberg/rbloomberg-manual-0-4-144.pdf
install.packages("RBloomberg", repos="http://r.findata.org")
Installing package(s) into ?C:/Users/chibi/Documents/R/win-library/2.15? (as ?lib? is unspecified) Warning in install.packages : package ?RBloomberg? is not available (for R version 2.15.1) I am wondering the package no longer exists? If not, what other choices do I have? Thank you. Robert
