If l.out is not a data frame, what is it? A list? A matrix? Some other structure? Try

  str(l.out)
  class(l.out)

and see what you get.

Can't help you convert it to a data frame without knowing what it is.

After you have a data frame, then write.table(), write.csv(), or write.csv2() will "convert" it to a CSV (assuming that's what you meant by "CVS".

p.s. use reply-all if you want to add that extra information .

    I am attempting to download tickers as a time series.  I can successfully create RDA files but I want to convert them to CVS.  Following is the code I have created so far.
    
    
    
    if (!require(BatchGetSymbols)) install.packages('BatchGetSymbols')
    
    library(BatchGetSymbols)
    
    tickers <- c('SPY','VCR', 'RPG')
    
    first.date <- Sys.Date()-365
    
    last.date <- Sys.Date
    
    l.out <- BatchGetSymbols(tickers = tickers,
    
           first.date = first.date,
    
           last.date = last.date,
    
    cache.folder = file.path("c://Users/Owner/Documents/R",
    
    +    'BGS_Cache') )
    
    print(l.out$df.control)
    
    print(l.out$df.tickers)
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    I can print(l.out) and see that it contains all the data, but it is not a data.frame
    
    
    
    Can anyone help with creating a data.frame and then converting to CSV?
    
    
    
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
    
    
    
    Thanks
