Detailed Description

This class represents the file unimod.xml.

The Unimod file comprises chemical elements, amino-acids and modifications. The file can be created from scratch, read from a disk file or retrieved from a remote location (HTTP) and then saved as a mod_file or another unimod.xml.

After reading a file and before using the object check validity by calling isValid() and retrieve error descriptions with getLastErrorString() if not valid. Similarly, after writing out the file, isValid() can be used to check if the file has been created correctly and is valid for further use.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum MODFILE_FLAGS

Flags for the type of modifications to retrieve.

See Using enumerated values and static const ints in Perl, Java, Python and C#.

The result of combining these flags is a union of modifications sets.

Enumerator:

MODFILE_FLAGS_EMPTY	Default behaviour (regular modifications only).
MODFILE_FLAGS_REGULAR	Non-hidden modifications which are not AA-substitutions.
MODFILE_FLAGS_HIDDEN	Hidden modifications which are not AA-substitutions.
MODFILE_FLAGS_AASUBST	AA substitutions.
MODFILE_FLAGS_ALL	Get all modifications.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ms_umod_configfile	(	const char *	fileName,
		const char *	schemaFileName,
		const ms_connection_settings *	cs = `0`,
		bool	useSchema = `true`
	)

Immediate action constructor that reads the XML file with the given name.

An instance of this class is normally created using this form of the constructor.

Parameters:

fileName	represents either local file name (for example, "C:/unimod.xml") or a fully formed URL such as `http://www.matrixscience.com/cgi` . The filename may use backslashes or forward slashes on Windows and spaces in file or directory names are allowed.
schemaFileName	is a local file name for the schema (for example, "C:/unimod_2.xsd"). The schema must be a local file -- it cannot be accessed using HTTP. The schema filename may use backslashes or forward slashes on Windows and spaces in file or directory names are allowed.
cs	a connection settings object for downloading the file from a Mascot server. This should contain a sessionID and optionally the proxy server settings. For a local file cs is not required and will be ignored.
useSchema	specify whether it should use a xsd schema validator, true by default

ms_umod_configfile ( const ms_umod_configfile & src )

Parameters:

src	another instance of this class to copy the content from.

ms_umod_configfile & operator= ( const ms_umod_configfile & right )

Assignment operator for C++ applications.

Parameters:

right another instance of this class to copy the content from.

Returns:: reference to the current object

void read_buffer ( const char * buffer )

Reads configuration information from a string buffer.

This method is useful when reading configuration information from a mascor result file. Old content of the object will be removed and substituted with the information read from the buffer.

Parameters:

buffer string buffer that contains a valid xml-document. It can be a document with just one modification in it, or only with amino acid masses.

void read_file ( )

Reads configuration information from the XML file.

Downloads the file if necessary from the Unimod web site and parses it. Check for errors before using any other methods for retrieving content.

std::string save_buffer ( bool validateAgainstSchema = true )

Creates a string representation of the XML document with all the content of the object.

Creates a valid XML document and returns it as a string which can be used, for example, for writing out configuration information to mascot result file.

To produce a 'file' that validates against the schema, it is not sufficient to add, for example, just a modification because this will be missing keyrefs to elements and termini building 'bricks'.

If you choose not to validate against the schema, then it is sufficient to just output, say, a single modification.

Parameters:

validateAgainstSchema specifies whether to validate against the schema. If true and the schema file exists and the resulting XML fails to validate, then an empty string will be returned and the errors will indicate why it failed to validate.

Returns:: XML document with the object content.

void save_file ( )

Saves configuration information in the XML file (not mod_file).

Check for errors after calling this method to see if the operation has been successful or to get any schema validation errors. If the document is not valid it is going to be saved anyway unless there are other problems.

If you want to validate document without actually saving it use validateDocument().

void setConnectionSettings ( const ms_connection_settings & cs )

Sets the sessionID and proxy server for use with an HTTP transfer.

This value would normally be passed in the constructor.

Parameters:

cs	is the new connection settings.

void setFileName ( const char * name )

Changes the file name for subsequent read/write operations (do not use it for saving in a mod_file!).

Calling this method does not mean an immediate update on disk. Use either read_file() or save_file() for that.

Parameters:

name	a new file location.

void setSchemaFileName ( const char * name )

Call this member to specify a custom schema file name for validating the XML file.

Parameters:

name	a new file location (if empty default value will be assigned).

bool updateAminoAcidByName	(	const char *	name,
		const ms_umod_aminoacid *	aa
	)

Update the information for a specific amino acid.

Parameters:

name	name of the amino acid for updating.
aa	an object to copy the content from.

Returns:: TRUE if the amino acid has been found and successfully updated and FALSE otherwise.

		const ms_umod_aminoacid *	aa
	)

Update the information for a specific amino acid.

Parameters:

idx	number of the amino acid for updating from 0 to (getNumberOfAminoAcids() - 1).
aa	an object to copy the content from.

Returns:: TRUE if the amino acid has been found and successfully updated and FALSE otherwise.

bool updateElementByName	(	const char *	name,
		const ms_umod_element *	element
	)

Update the information for a specific element.

Parameters:

name	name of the element for updating.
element	an object to copy the content from.

Returns:: TRUE if the element has been found and successfully updated and FALSE otherwise.

bool updateElementByNumber	(	const int	idx,
		const ms_umod_element *	element
	)

Update the information for a specific element.

Parameters:

idx	number of the element for updating from 0 to (getNumberOfElements() - 1).
element	an object to copy the content from.

Returns:: TRUE if the element has been found and successfully updated and FALSE otherwise.

bool updateModBrickByName	(	const char *	name,
		const ms_umod_modbrick *	brick
	)

Parameters:

name	name of the modification brick for updating.
brick	an object to copy the content from.

Returns:: TRUE if the modification brick has been found and successfully updated and FALSE otherwise.

bool updateModBrickByNumber	(	const int	idx,
		const ms_umod_modbrick *	brick
	)

Update the information for a specific modification brick.

Parameters:

idx	number of the modification brick for updating from 0 to (getNumberOfModBricks() - 1).
brick	an object to copy the content from.

Returns:: TRUE if the modification brick has been found and successfully updated and FALSE otherwise.

bool updateModificationByName	(	const char *	name,
		const ms_umod_modification *	mod
	)

Update the information for a specific modification.

Parameters:

name	name of the modification for updating.
mod	an object to copy the content from.

Returns:: TRUE if the modification has been found and successfully updated and FALSE otherwise.

bool updateModificationByNumber	(	const int	idx,
		const ms_umod_modification *	mod
	)

Update the information for a specific modification.

Parameters:

idx	number of the modification for updating from 0 to (getNumberOfModifications() - 1).
mod	an object to copy the content from.

Returns:: TRUE if the modification has been found and successfully updated and FALSE otherwise.

std::string validateDocument ( ) const

Validates the whole document against schema and returns errors as a string.

This method doesn't attempt to store the document anywhere and doesn't make the object invalid. Also, no errors are stored. Therefore, this method can be called as many times as necessary without any consequences.

All validation errors will be returned back as a string. However, the XML parser will describe errors in terms of row and column numbers as if the document was actually saved in a file.

Returns:: validation errors as a string or an empty string if there are no errors detected.
