Hi Sun. One of the handy features of aroma.affymetrix is that it pulls a lot of information from the directories in which files reside (e.g. platform, dataset name, etc).
If you are on unix/mac osx, you can use symbolic links for this. For example, everything in your ./rawData/MYPLATFORM/MYDATASET directory would be a link to the location on disk where the file resides. You could probably even write a script to create all the symbolic links from the list of full pathnames in your text file ... I don't know how to do this on windows, but presumably there is something similar.
