Reads an Illumina intnesity data file produced by BeadStudio. Using BeadStudio version 'One" the file will have a 'gene profile.csv' extension and using version "Two" the file will have a .txt extension. See package vignette for more information. Multiple filenames can be specified as a vector and the data are then combined into one output file. This function should only really be used for custom analysis as the beadAnalysis() function provides easier, flexible use.
A beadData-class
object containing the BeadChip informations (combined if multiple files are submitted)
