Feature Request: Compressed gz output #24

Closed ammaraziz closed 3 months ago

ammaraziz commented 8 months ago

Hi there,

Thank you for creating and maintaining pTrimmer, fantastic tool.

It would be great to be able to output compressed gz trimmed fastq files. Unless I am mistaken this is not currently possible with pTrimmer.

Thanks,

Ammar

@ammaraziz Thank you very much for your suggestion. This will be particularly useful for some larger FASTQ files. I will add this feature as soon as possible, but it may take at least two weeks. Of course, if you urgently need to use this feature (e.g. your disk space is insufficient or your FASTQ files are too large), you can send me an email, and I will create a temporary version for you to support Gzip output.

Thank you again :)
