# Get the files included with the package
packageDir <- system.file("extdata", package = "ngsReports")
fl <- list.files(packageDir, pattern = "fastqc.zip", full.names = TRUE)[1]

# As this is the root structure, we can only call this
# function with an individual file
ff <- ngsReports:::.FastqcFile(fl)
