Does the Btools package contain the tools for parsing the experiment description and parameter files?
A parser for the experiment description file can be built using the class in XPathXMLParser.cpp. The source code for XPathXMLParser.cpp and an example is given in the post Parsing parameter files with XPathXMLParser.cpp posted in ICE Announcements at http://bbs.bee-biometrics.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=132.
