1 | getInfoInFile(filename, type, unit, property, compress = NULL)
|
filename |
a file name |
type |
|
unit |
the 'unit' to find the information |
property |
the 'property' of interest |
compress |
a boolean |
The data files seem to have a structure of 'units'. A 'unit' start
with something between square brackets (ex: "[UNIT1]"). The parameter
unit
let one specify in which unit the information of interest
is located. The 'properties' are constituted of an identifier, the
sign '=' and the value for the property (ex: "numCells=12000").
If you are planning to use this function, I assume you know the what is in CEL and CDF files in details and that you know what are doing.
a character with the value of the 'property'.
The code goes through the file until the rigth 'unit' is found. Then it looks for the right 'property' further down (eventually going through the next units if the property is not found).
