[BioC] GEOquery Meta

[David Lyon]

Hi

How do I get all the meta data from a gds GEO file?

For example Meta(gds535) gives all the metadata from DATASET as below but it doesnt return the metadata associated with the SUBSET eg

for GDS535.soft the Meta function "Meta(gds535)" doesnt return the following, is there a way to retrieve this information apart from going directly into it with perl

"
^SUBSET = GDS535_1
!subset_dataset_id = GDS535
!subset_description = hormone-sensitive
!subset_sample_id = GSM13066,GSM13068,GSM13070,GSM13073,GSM13075,GSM13077,GSM13079
!subset_type = cell type
^SUBSET = GDS535_2
!subset_dataset_id = GDS535
!subset_description = hormone-refractory
!subset_sample_id = GSM13065,GSM13067,GSM13069,GSM13072,GSM13074,GSM13076,GSM13078
!subset_type = cell type
"


Thanks again
