Examples

  sa <- ScanAlyzeData$read("group4.dat", path=system.file("data-ex", package="aroma"))

  # Writes the ScanAlyzeData to a temporary file. Note that this
  # file won't be exactly the same since a few lines, specifying
  # for instance the creator of the file, will be added. The data,
  # however, will be the same.
  filename <- paste(tempfile("ScanAlyzeData"), ".dat", sep="")
  write(sa, filename)

  sa2 <- ScanAlyzeData$read(filename)
  print(equals(sa, sa2))  # TRUE

  unlink(filename)
