output text files

I see that the info is output in an unstructured way on the stout, but for those of us that would like to do some other types of viz, it would be nice to have the raw data.

Thanks, Matt

Absolutely. I was thinking I would have a JSON output. Would this be acceptable?

I think. Assuming there is a good json parser in R.

jsonlite is a very solid package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/jsonlite/index.html

The reason I ask is that the output is somewhat structured already as:

sample id	observation	cycle	value

Which you should be able to parse in R using tidyr::spread.
