Hi,

I'm having to dig back through our archives and reprocess several older runs 
back through our pipeline.  Everything was going well until I tried one of our 
oldest runs from April 2011.  For this run, ExtractIlluminaBarcodes gave me the 
following error:
Exception in thread "main" net.sf.picard.PicardException: Could not find a 
format with available files for the following data types: PF
        at 
net.sf.picard.illumina.parser.IlluminaDataProviderFactory.<init>(IlluminaDataProviderFactory.java:139)
        at 
net.sf.picard.illumina.ExtractIlluminaBarcodes.customCommandLineValidation(ExtractIlluminaBarcodes.java:301)
        at 
net.sf.picard.cmdline.CommandLineProgram.parseArgs(CommandLineProgram.java:236)
        at 
net.sf.picard.cmdline.CommandLineProgram.instanceMain(CommandLineProgram.java:123)
        at 
net.sf.picard.illumina.ExtractIlluminaBarcodes.main(ExtractIlluminaBarcodes.java:327)


Although our pipeline does not have the latest Picard version (1.122), I did 
download the latest version and ran CheckIlluminaDirectory and received the 
same error message.  

I suspect that it has something to do with changing versions of Illumina's RTA 
software (this run uses version 1.7.48) because the next run used a newer RTA 
version and put the .filter files in a different location.  They are also in a 
different format because copying the existing .format files to the now-expected 
location & Picard complained about the format being wrong.

Is there any way to processes these older format run directories through Picard?
