[R-SIG-Finance] Quantmod problem with getQuote with yahooQF options

[Xian Li]

Hi,

I just tried out the examples given in the getQuote but it didn't return the columns as I specified but return the default columns:

> fundamentals = getQuote(paste(as.character(as.vector(unique(hrtwts$ticker))),sep=";",collapse=";"),what=yahooQF(c("Bid","Ask")))
downloading set: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , ...done
> head(fundamentals)
