#Get a subset of segments for given chromosomes and/or sampleIDs

##Input:
### segments : either a data frame or the name of a file containing the segments found by either pcf, multipcf or aspcf
### chrom : a numeric vector with chromosome number(s) for which data or segments should be selected. If unspecified, all chromosomes in data or segments will be selected
### sample : a numeric vector indicating which sample(s) is to selected. The number(s) should correspond to the sample's place (in order of appearance) in the data 
### sep : the separator of the input files if \code{data} is a file. Default is "\t"
### ... : optional parameters to be passed to \code{read.table} in the case where data are to be read from files

## Output:
### sel.segments : the data frame with segments selected on chromosomes and sampleIds

##Required by:
### none

##Requires:
### is.multiseg
### numericChrom
### pullOutContent
