library("RnaSeqTutorial")

	## creating a BamFileList using a directory and pattern
	bfl <- getBamFileList(
                        dir(path=system.file("extdata",
					                  package="RnaSeqTutorial"),
					              pattern="[A,C,T,G]{6}\\.bam$",
  				              full.names=TRUE))

  ## using filenames
  filenames <- dir(path=
  	    			      system.file("extdata",
					          package="RnaSeqTutorial"),
					     pattern="[A,C,T,G]{6}\\.bam$",
  				     full.names=TRUE)
  bfl <- getBamFileList(filenames)
  
  ## get them recursively
  filenames <- dir(path=
        			      system.file("extdata",
					          package="RnaSeqTutorial"),
					     pattern="[A,C,T,G]{6}\\.bam$",
  				     full.names=TRUE,recursive=TRUE)
  bfl <- getBamFileList(filenames)
