[BioC] package affy, functions read.celfile and read.cdffile

[Laurent Gautier]

Hi,


The functions read.celfile and read.cdffile in the package affy are
reading Affymetrix '.CEL' and '.CDF' files respectively. 

Trying to load corrupted files (i.e. with lines missing, or with
aunt Annie's chocolate cake receipe inserted in the middle) will
puzzle so much the parser that it will precipitate R in its fall
(crash, segmentation fault). 

A more robust parser will come with the next version (and will be
within few days in the 'development' version of the package).


Regards,



Laurent
