Hi, Jeff:

Thanks for your reply. Basically the function seems a wrapper around the tags shown on gummy-stuff. However, the gummy-stuff doesn't list sector and industry in its table, though  i doubt whether there are tags for sector/industry. These two items are presented in the Yahoo finance, company profile.

Thanks anyway.

Hi Andy,

I don't have any knowledge on whether there are hidden tags available,
though I would suspect not.

The getQuote function, along with yahooQF in quantmod interface yahoo
to get the data alluded to by gummy-stuff.  It is generally useful,
though some Yahoo functionality/return data isn't supported perfectly.
 That said most everything I have tried works.

library(quantmod)
?getQuote

and yahooQF()

HTH,
Jeff
