[BioC] affxparser/convertCel() error "Internal error: Failed to extract 'pixelRange' and 'sampleName' from DAT header" (Was: Re: load and normalize arrays from different platform)

[Henrik Bengtsson]

Hi,

about the error with convertCel() of affxparser: would you mind
sending me (not via this list) a CEL file that causes that error so I
could troubleshoot this further.

> Hi all, I need to load and normalize CEL files from two different platforms, one platform is *U133AAofAv2 (22944 affyids)* and the other is *HG-U133A_2 (22277 affyids)*. I believe that these two platforms have very similar annotations. When I read all the file together using ReadAffy, I got an error saying, > es.affy<-ReadAffy(filenames=celfile, celfile.path=celpath, phenoData=NULL) Error in read.affybatch(filenames = l$filenames, phenoData = l$phenoData,   Cel file XX does not seem to have the correct dimensions I figure that is because two platform has different cdf. So I tried to change the cdf name for *U133AAofAv2 *using library("affxparser"). The I got the following errors, > convertCel(celfile, celfile.output, newChipType="HG-U133A_2") Error in .unwrapDatHeaderString(header$DatHeader) :   Internal error: Failed to extract 'pixelRange' and 'sampleName' from DAT header.  They became identical:   HG-U133A_2.1sq  I am not sure how to get around with this problem? Could anybody helps? Or what would be the best way to normalize two datasets like mine? Thank you very much. Any suggestion is appreciated.
