Read spectra from a homogeneous list of files based on a path and a list of filenames or a path and a search pattern for files. The imported spectra are returned as a single object of one of the collection of spectra classes from package 'photobiology'.
read_foreign2mspct(path = ".", list = NULL, pattern = NULL, .fun, ...)An object of class `generic_mspct` or a class derived from it, containing a collection of member spectra of class `generic_spct` or of one of the classes derived from it.
character A path point to the location of the files.
character A vector or list of character strings pointing to
files relative to path,
character A search pattern to select files within path.
See list.files which is used internally. Argument ignored
is list is non-null.
function One of the functions exported by this package for reading spectral data.
Named arguments passed ot the call to .fun.
This function iterates over a list of file names reading them with the function passed as argument to `.fun` and combines the spectra as a collection of spectra of a class suitable for the spectral objects returned by the argument to `.fun`. This function can either return for each file read either a single spectrum as an object of class `generic_spct` or a class derived from it, or a collection of spectra of class `generic_mspct` or a class derived from it. The class of the returned object depends on the class of the member spectra.
