write_mgf_massbank: Write MassBank Spectra to MGF Format

In tidymass/metid: Metabolite identification based on MS1 and MS2 spectra

Write MassBank Spectra to MGF Format

Description

This function writes positive and negative mode MS2 spectra from a given 'databaseClass' object to MGF format files. The spectra are written separately for positive and negative ionization modes.

Usage

write_mgf_massbank(database, path = ".")

Arguments

database	An object of class 'databaseClass' containing spectral data and metadata.
path	A character string specifying the directory where the MGF files will be written. Defaults to the current directory ('"."').

Details

This function extracts the spectra from a 'databaseClass' object and writes them into MGF files. The positive mode spectra are written to 'spectra_pos.mgf' and the negative mode spectra are written to 'spectra_neg.mgf'. Each entry in the MGF file includes information such as the compound name, precursor type, ion mode, collision energy, and the corresponding MS2 spectrum.

Value

This function does not return any value. It writes MGF files for positive and negative mode spectra in the specified directory.
