Hey Folks,I understand I could grab list of all companies listed on S&P 500 from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_S&P_500_companies 
However what I am looking for is a function whose input is a User specified an Index {better yet, a list of indexes}..For each of the index, The function should be able to retrieve companies listed on that index alongwith their symbols  and dump into a flat file/database.. 
Is there a function in R metrics or fImport You know  that can do the same.. If not , no problem, I guess I will write a function :-)..but before putting the effort just wanted to check if one already exists then I could use it.Thanksfoxonie.
