Get a file from an amigaDisk object
Get files stored on virtual amigaDisk
s as raw data
or copy as file.

either a file name or a file connection, that

Amiga DOS formatted disks can store any kind of file (as long as the disk's capacity allows it). Use this method to extract such files embedded in an Amiga Disk File (ADF) as raw data or copy to a file on your system.
Returns a vector
of raw
data when the
argument destination
is missing. Otherwise returns nothing.

data(adf.example) ## Not run: ## get the file "Startup-Sequence" from the virtual ## example disk and save as a text file in the ## current working directory: get.adf.file(adf.example, "DF0:S/Startup-Sequence", "startup.txt") ## End(Not run) ## get the same file as raw data ## by omitting the destination: startup <- get.adf.file(adf.example, "DF0:S/Startup-Sequence") ## Look, it's a text file: cat(rawToChar(startup)) if (requireNamespace("ProTrackR", quietly = TRUE)) { ## look there is a typical ProTracker module on ## the example disk. You can load it like this: ## get the file from the virtual disk ## as raw data mod.raw <- get.adf.file(adf.example, "DF0:mods/mod.intro") ## open a raw connection with the ## newly imported raw data con <- rawConnection(mod.raw, "rb") ## and read it as a ProTracker module mod <- ProTrackR::read.module(con) close(con) ## plot the first sample from the module: plot(ProTrackR::waveform(ProTrackR::PTSample(mod, 1)), type = "l", ylab = "amplitude") } else { cat("You need to install and load the\nProTrackR package for this part of the example.") }
