Description

Defines an AffymetrixFileSet object by searching for Affymetrix files.

Usage

## Static method (use this):
## AffymetrixFileSet$byPath(..., fileClass="AffymetrixFile")

## Don't use the below:
## S3 method for class 'AffymetrixFileSet'
byPath(static, ..., fileClass="AffymetrixFile")

Arguments

...	Additional arguments passed to the constructor of the static (calling) class.
fileClass	The name of the GenericDataFile 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.
