Data File Validation

Validity 

path.RAW = raw.getSamplePath()
file.list = dir(path.RAW)
for(f in file.list) {
  if (!raw.isValid(f)) {
    print(paste("Found file with invalid name: ",f))
  }
}
#> [1] "Found file with invalid name:  getAFMdbName.R"
#> [1] "Found file with invalid name:  makeData.R"
#> [1] "Found file with invalid name:  not-a-RAW-file.txt"
#> [1] "Found file with invalid name:  zzz.R"
