Hi all. I have a problem using stockSymbols from TTR, which is rather 
garbled output. Using the example of
require("TTR")

nyse.symbols<- stockSymbols("NYSE")



results in the warning



Fetching NYSE symbols...
Warnmeldung:
In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,  :
   cols = 3 != length(data) = 4



I get the following output



head(nyse.symbols)


                                                                                                                                                                   Name

Any help would be appreciated.
