Dear Eran,
You have to read the limma User's Guide. Section 8.1.1 tells you what to
do exactly. Your experiment is so simple you don't even need design or
contrast matrices.
Best wishes
Gordon

> Hello Bioconductor users,
>
> We have carried the following experiment: two different fly strains (58
> and 104) were tested (each) under two different conditions, Control and
> Pulse (C and P). For each strain, samples from two conditions were
> labelled with Cy3 and Cy5 and hybridized together to the same array. Two
> (biological) replicates were carried for each hybridization.
>
> We are interested in finding those genes for which the difference C-P is
> maximized (and significant) between the strains. In other words, we are
> interested in the difference of the differences: (C[58]-P[58]) â
> (C[104]-P[104]).

> The target file looks like that:

> 1 58 UP1_LP1.gpr control pulse
> 2 58 UP2_LP2.gpr control pulse
> 3 104 UP1_LP1.gpr control pulse
> 4 104 UP1_LP1.gpr control pulse

> Could anyone please help us with writing the design and contrast matrix
