[BioC] 1lq

[Wolfgang Huber]

Hi Kasper,

I've just checked in an import function "getProbeData_1lq.R" for the 
makeProbePackage function in package matchprobes. It should be available 
on the bioC website in version 1.0.17 of the matchprobes package within 
a day or so.

It does use the "scan" function though, and takes its time. (I found it 
more efficient to spend a little bit more of a computer's time doing 
this using a standard function, rather than my own time to write a 
parser in C - but the trade off may vary)

   Best wishes
    Wolfgang
