Interface to OpenChrom file parsers

ethanbass opened this issue · 1 comments

OpenChrom includes a command line interface that can be used to call their file parsers: https://github.com/OpenChrom/openchrom/wiki/CLI.

R should be able to write an appropriate batch job file and feed it to OpenChrom with a system call to access their file converters. For example, they have parsers for several FID formats which don't seem to be available otherwise.

Alternatively, if someone who understands Java reads this and wants to figure out how to call the parsers directly from R (e.g. using rJava) I think that would be great as well.

Added provisional support for this in 8da0c15.
