Hi Henrik,
Much thanks!I have tried "extractMatrix" and it works!

Yet another question merges...I used RMAExpress to extract the
expression level matrix some time ago (background adjusted, quantile
normalized and summarized using PLM) . I thought the outcomes of these
two preprocessing softwares (namely RMAExpress and aroma.affymetrix)
ought to be the same, yet they are not ...

I asked my mentor about this question of "inconsistency", and showed
him the "aroma.affymetrix-Analysis of small to very large Affymetrix
data sets"(which is written by you in August, 2007 =D).

He saw the descripton on page 48 that "# The SNP information contains
information about SNP fragment lengths.
cdf <- getCdf(ces)
si <-getSnpInformation(cdf)
fl <- getFragmentLengths(si)" and doubted whether I am using the right
software since the dataset I am currently working with measures the
DNA expression level.

I was wondering whether the steps I described above is ok for chips
that measure the DNA expression level, and if it ok, why the result is
inconsistent with the RMAExpress's result.

Thank you,
Anqi

When reporting problems on aroma.affymetrix, make sure 1) to run the latest 
version of the package, 2) to report the output of sessionInfo() and 
traceback(), and 3) to post a complete code example.
