# S3 method for AffymetrixFileSet
byPath(static, ..., fileClass="AffymetrixFile")
Returns an AffymetrixFileSet
object.
Additional arguments passed to the constructor of the static (calling) class.
The name of the GenericDataFile
class.
Note that files with names starting with a period .
are not
searched for. The reason for this is that such files are reserved for
internal use of this package. For instance, the package store average
signals across CEL files in a file named as .average<something>.CEL
in the same directory as the CEL files, and when such a directory is
scanned we do not want such files to be interpreted as data.
