# tutorial data - store the data in the BiocCache
tdir <- tutorialData()

  # creating a BamFileList using a directory and pattern
  # using filenames (from the Bioc cache)
  filenames <- dir(tdir,pattern="[A,C,T,G]{6}\\.bam$",full.names=TRUE)
  indexnames <- sapply(paste0(sub(".*_","",basename(filenames)),".bai"),fetchData)
  bfl <- getBamFileList(filenames,indexnames)

  # get them recursively
  filenames <- dir(path=tdir,pattern="[A,C,T,G]{6}\\.bam$",
                   full.names=TRUE,recursive=TRUE)
  indexnames <- sapply(paste0(sub(".*_","",basename(filenames)),".bai"),fetchData)
  bfl <- getBamFileList(filenames,indexnames)
