read subs

Alow opening data from various format

open()

Reads the spectra from $this->source , with type from $this{format}. If the latest is not defined, it will try to mgf ()

guessFormat()

Try to guess the spectra format (if it is not yet defined) based on the file extension stores in the argument {source}. However, if you wish to load for example .dta file from a directory, it will not determine it automatically.

If the format was already specified, it will not try to guess it.

chargeMasks

To allow charge incertitude, the package manage multi charges as on int. For example '2+ AND 3+' will be stored as (2^2+2^3)=12. Subroutines to convert string 2 chargeMask are exported as static (they do not belong to one particuliar spectra
