I am using the getQuote function in the Quantmod package to retrieve the % change for a stock as follows:
> getQuote("aapl",what=yahooQF(c("Change Percent (Real-time)"))) Trade Time %Change (RT) aapl 2012-10-11 03:41:00 N/A - -1.67% How can I extract the numeric "change %" which is being returned as a factor so that I can use it in other calculations? Thanks. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
