read: Functions to Read Fingerprints From Files
In fingerprint: Functions to operate on binary fingerprint data

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also

fp.read reads in a set of fingerprints from a file. Fingerprint output from the CDK, MOE and BCI can be handled.

Each fingerprint is represented as a fingerprint object. fp.read returns a list structure, each element being a fingerprint object.

fp.read.to.matrix is a utility function that reads the fingerprints directly to matrix form (columns are the bit positions and the rows are the objects whose fingerprints have been evaluated)

1 2	fp.read(f='fingerprint.txt', size=1024, lf=cdk.lf, header=FALSE) fp.read.to.matrix(f='fingerprint.txt', size=1024, lf=cdk.lf, header=FALSE)

`f`	File containing the fingperprints
`size`	The bit length of the fingerprints being considered
`lf`	A line reading function that parses a single line from a fingerprint file. Currently, three such functions are provided that parse the fingerprints from the output of the CDK, MOE and the BCI toolkit, respectively.
`header`	Indicates whether the first line of the fingerprint file is a header line
