I'm trying to get dividend information from the web and save it to a .csv file. My code is:

library(quantmod)
stokname = 'XOM'
divseries = getDividends(stokname)
write.csv(divseries, file = paste("C:/DATA/dividends/",stokname,".csv", sep = ""), row.names=FALSE)

this works, but when I save it, all I have is the dividends, without the dates. How can I write the dates to the file?

Try `?write.zoo` instead. – Joshua Ulrich Apr 22 '15 at 21:11

@DavidArenburg: but that's so much more work than a 3-word comment! ;-) – Joshua Ulrich Apr 22 '15 at 21:17

@JoshuaUlrich and now someone shamelessly stole it. Not sure if to downvote or upvote now – David Arenburg Apr 22 '15 at 21:19
