[R-SIG-Finance] twsFuture in reqContractDetails

[Jeffrey Ryan]

Olivier,

You can set the fields that you are seeking to ="" to act as a wildcard.  i.e.

> EBMcons <- reqContractDetails(ibg, twsFUT(symbol="EBM",exch="MATIF",currency="EUR",expiry=""))
> length(EBMcons)
[1] 12
> sapply(EBMcons, function(X) as.twsContract(X)$expiry)
 [1] "20120810" "20121112" "20130110" "20130311" "20130510" "20131111"
 [7] "20140110" "20140310" "20140512" "20141110" "20150112" "20150310"
