Method Detail

run

public static java.util.ArrayList run(java.lang.String filePath,
                                      int fieldIndex)
                               throws java.lang.Exception,
                                      FieldNotFoundException

This method reads the given file and returns a list of the fields with the given index. It is assumed that files contain rows of records (one on each line) and that each field in a record is separated by whitespace. The field indices start with 0. If there are consecutive delimiters, it's assumed that there is a null field, so the resulting list may contain nulls. If there is any problem with any line an exception will be returned.

Parameters:

filePath - Fully qualified file path

fieldIndex - Index (column) of the desired field in the rows of records

Returns:

ArrayList List of String objects of desired field values in order by row; may contain null elements

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - Problem reading the file

FieldNotFoundException - Field index refers to a non-existent field

runIntegration

public static java.util.ArrayList runIntegration(java.lang.String filePath)
                                          throws java.lang.Exception,
                                                 FieldNotFoundException

This method reads the integrated file and outputs the experiments and probes list

Parameters:

filePath - Fully qualified file path

Returns:

ArrayList List of List of expements and Probes

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - Problem reading the file

FieldNotFoundException - Field index refers to a non-existent field

runIntegVar

public static java.util.ArrayList runIntegVar(java.lang.String filePath,
                                              int fieldIndex)
                                       throws java.lang.Exception,
                                              FieldNotFoundException

This method reads the integrated file and outputs the variances list

Parameters:

filePath - Fully qualified file path

Returns:

ArrayList List of Variances

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - Problem reading the file

FieldNotFoundException - Field index refers to a non-existent field
