Hello everybody,

Can qa() work on compressed *_export.txt files?



The function readAligned() is very smart because it does not care if the
export file is plain or compressed. You just do

aln <- readAligned(sp, fileNamePattern)

and the lane is loaded up.

I tried to run qa() on a directory with compressed export files and I got:

> sp <- SolexaPath(experimentPath=myExperimentPath,
analysisPath=myAnalysisPath)
> sp
class: SolexaPath
experimentPath: /data/igregore/all/runs/090529/
dataPath: NA
scanPath: NA
imageAnalysisPath: NA
baseCallPath: NA
analysisPath: GERALD_01-06-20...
> qa <- qa(sp)
Error: Input/Output
  no input files found
 dirPath: /data/igregore/all/runs/090529/GERALD_01-06-2009_niddk/
  pattern: .*_export.txt$


I guess that qa()'s inability to read .txt.gz is a feature rather than a
bug. If so, would you please consider adding this capability on a future
ShortRead release?

Thank you,

Ivan
