Detailed Description

File adapter for Enhanced DTA files.

Input text file containing tab, space or comma separated columns. The separator between columns is checked in the first line in this order.

It supports three variants of this format.

• Columns are: RT, MZ, Intensity A header is optional.

• Columns are: RT, MZ, Intensity, Charge, <Meta-Data> columns{0,} A header is mandatory.

Example:

    RT m/z Intensity charge mymeta1 mymeta2
    321 405.233 24543534 2 lala  lili
    321 406.207 4343344  2 blubb blabb

• Columns are: (RT, MZ, Intensity, Charge){1,}, <Meta-Data> columns{0,} Header is mandatory. First quadruplet is the consensus. All following quadruplets describe the sub-features. This variant is discerned from variant #2 by the name of the fifth column, which is required to be RT1 (or rt1). All other column names for sub-features are faithfully ignored.

Example:

    RT MZ INT CHARGE RT1 MZ1 INT1 CHARGE1 RT2 MZ2 INT2 CHARGE2
    321 405 100 2 321 405 100 2 321 406 50 2
    323 406 200 2 323 406 200 2 323 407 100 2 323 407 50 2

Member Function Documentation

DoubleReal checkedToDouble_	(	const std::vector< String > &	parts,
		Size	index,
		DoubleReal	def = -1
	)			[private]

Check if column exists and convert String into DoubleReal.

Int checkedToInt_	(	const std::vector< String > &	parts,
		Size	index,
		Int	def = -1
	)			[private]

Check if column exists and convert String into Int.

void load	(	const String &	filename,
		ConsensusMap &	consensus_map
	)

Loads a EDTA file into a consensusXML.

The content of the file is stored in features.

Exceptions:

	Exception::FileNotFound	is thrown if the file could not be opened
	Exception::ParseError	is thrown if an error occurs during parsing

void store	(	const String &	filename,
		const ConsensusMap &	map
	)			const

Stores a ConsensusMap as an enhanced DTA file.

NOT IMPLEMENTED

Exceptions:

Exception::UnableToCreateFile

is thrown if the file could not be created

void store	(	const String &	filename,
		const FeatureMap<> &	map
	)			const

Stores a FeatureMap as an enhanced DTA file.

Creating columns: RT, m/z, intensity, charge

Exceptions:

Exception::UnableToCreateFile

is thrown if the file could not be created
