fromFiles.AffymetrixFileSet {aroma.affymetrix}R Documentation

Defines an AffymetrixFileSet object by searching for Affymetrix files

Description

Defines an AffymetrixFileSet object by searching for Affymetrix files.

Usage

AffymetrixFileSet$fromFiles(..., fileClass="AffymetrixFile")

Arguments

path The path where to search for Affymetrix files.
pattern The filename pattern for match files. If NULL, filename extensions corresponding to known subclasses of the abstract AffymetrixFile class are search for.
recursive If TRUE, subdirectories are search recursively, otherwise not.
... Optional arguments passed to the constructor of the static (calling) class.

Value

Returns an AffymetrixFileSet object.

Reserved filenames

Note that files with names starting with a period . are not searched for. The reason for this is that such files are reserved for internal use of this package. For instance, the package store average signals across CEL files in a file named as .average<something>.CEL in the same directory as the CEL files, and when such a directory is scanned we do not want such files to be interpreted as data.
