[BioC] Problem reading files on FlowCore

Thank you, Chao-Jen and Nishant for your answers. 

I am not really familiar with R, I just read a couple of papers
regarding several software packages for Flow Cytometry analysis and I
decided to give it a go, not as easy as it looks.
Can you point me to the right source to familiarize with Flowcore?

Once again, thanks.

Eliminate the "+" sign on your command. The "+" sign on Nishant's
workflow document (and all the bioconductor vignette) indicates that the
compound expression  or arguments  are continuing.   It is automatically
added by R.  When you program in R, you don't need to manually write
"+".
