I am a new user of Curl. When I try download some data from the yahoo website, I got an "Missing Format Variable" error. I hope someone can kindly point what is wrong. Here is the command I used:
 
curl http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=@%5EIXIC&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv&h=0.
 
 
Here is the return:
 
Missing Format Variable.
'f' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'e' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'h' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
 
 
Thanks in advance.
