Research direction
Start at the getSymbols.csv entry point and inspect the file-not-found branch shown in the issue. Verify that the error message uses the requested extension, including an empty extension, and confirm the resulting output for the provided MERFX example.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
getSymbols.csv("MERFX", dir="/home/data/riingo", extension="sparky")
should print out:
file MERFX.sparky does not exist in /home/data/riingo ....skipping
instead it prints out MERFX.csv does not exist. This is because "csv" is hardcoded in
if(!file.exists(sym.file)) {
cat("\nfile ",paste(Symbols[[i]],"csv",sep='.')," does not exist ",
"in ",dir,"....skipping\n")
next
}
The"csv" should be replaced with extension.
FWIW: I was trying to use extension="" to get it to not add a ".csv" extension, but that doesn't work.
