[BioC] Help: Need to Identify all FCS files in a folder (flowCore)

[Byron Ellis]

read.flowSet(patt=".fcs")

is usually what I use, though you often find FCS files named with
things like .B08 and what have you (typically these are from 96 well
plates so they'll all be named patt="\.[A-H][0-2][0-9]"). We don't
have a specific way of testing the header of all the files (which will
all start with FCS regardless of version), though I suppose you could
write a function that attempts to read the header information, which
is now a separate function.
