This method is not to be called directly, instead a call to <code>getSymbols(Symbols,src='csv')</code> will in turn call this method. It is documented for the sole purpose of highlighting the arguments accepted, and to serve as a guide to creating additional getSymbols ‘methods’. </p> <h3>Usage</h3> <pre> getSymbols.csv(Symbols, env, dir="", return.class = "xts", extension="csv", col.names=c("Open","High","Low","Close","Volume","Adjusted"), ...) </pre> <h3>Arguments</h3> <table summary="R argblock"> <tr valign="top"><td><code>Symbols</code></td> <td> <p> a character vector specifying the names of each symbol to be loaded</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>env</code></td> <td> <p> where to create objects.

Essentially a simple wrapper to the underlying <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier; color: #666666;"><b>R</b></span> <code>read.csv</code>. </p> <h3>Value</h3> <p>A call to getSymbols.csv will load into the specified environment one object for each <code>Symbol</code> specified, with class defined by <code>return.class</code>. Presently this may be <code>ts</code>, <code>zoo</code>, <code>xts</code>, or <code>timeSeries</code>. </p> <h3>Note</h3> <p>This has yet to be tested on a windows platform. It <em>should</em> work though file seperators may be an issue. </p> <h3>Author(s)</h3> <p> Jeffrey A.
