I guess you could use split, but special case on there being no space. > Also, I'm not entirely sold on having the "Identifier line" being parsed as > "identifier" + <space> + "description" instead a single identifier line. That is the normal convention, just like with FASTA. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkp1137 > This would mean that identifiers could not themselves contain spaces, > but "There is no standardization for identifiers" (so they could technically > have spaces?).

That is expected, "@Read A" and "@Read B" have the same identifier, "Read". > Peter, Florent, anyone else: I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on > the above, particularly in respect to know real-world data.

It should be tested, but I think Florent's patch will work here (while the current Galaxy behaviour won't).
