read.plateSet {flowTime} | R Documentation

## Read FCS files from set of plates

### Description

Reads all folders within the specified path containing the specified pattern in the folder names. Each folder contains a set a plate of FCS files. These folders typically make up a whole experiment. Plates are numbered according to the standard lexicographical ordering of your operating system.

### Usage

    read.plateSet(path = getwd(), pattern = "", ...)

### Arguments

`path` | The path to search for folders containing FCS files
`pattern` | The regex pattern used to identify the folders of FCS files to be read
`...` | Additional arguments passed to read.flowSet. Note that 'alter.names' is forced to be TRUE in this implementation.

### Value

A single flowSet containing all FCS files within the identified folders. The index of each folder in the list according to lexicographical ordering (1,2,...) is prepended to the sampleNames.

### Examples

    # Read in both of the example data sets as a single flowSet
    plate1<-read.plateSet(path = system.file("extdata", package = "flowTime"),
    pattern = "")
