[R-SIG-Finance] for help: quantmod library: getSymbols("000002.SS")

[elton wang]

Jeff and all, 
How can I use quantmod to download stocks with special characters in names?

for instance, SHA:000002 in Google or 000002.SS in Yahoo, with getSymbols("000002.SS"), the output variable name is illegal in R.

Thanks for your help.
