[BioC] Matchprobe package

[Wolfgang Huber]

Dear Nathan,

please excuse the delayed reply. The answer is yes. You can import a 
wide variety of probe-description files by adapting the function which 
is given to the  'makeProbePackage' function by the 'importfun' 
parameter. Have a look at the default 'getProbeDataAffy', this is a 
function that works for the "normal" probe_tab files. Its (simple) 
commented source code is available through the source packages 
(.tar.gz). I recommend using this as a template and adapting it.

You can use "options(error=recover)" and the debugging browser of R to 
see what exactly is going wrong with your file. I am afraid it is 
difficult to tell for me from  the information you provide, and I 
suppose with a little bit of basic R knowledge (maybe ask a local guru) 
you should be able to trace this down.

  Best wishes
  Wolfgang
