stream reads instead of loading whole fastq into memory #45

Would it be possible/ easy to implement to stream the first say 10k reads, identify the barcodes and then stream all reads for chopping? With good sequencing runs, loading all reads into memory becomes difficult for a standard laptop.

thank you for providing this very helpful software, Adrian
