yep, you are right. My bad, I think I missing copy/pasting line 20.
>The first group has only three lines. See below.
Not so, the first group is actually the first four lines listed below.
Lines 1-4 serve as one group. For what it is worth, line four should
have 1 character for each char in line 1, and the first line is much
shorter, contains a space, and for this file always ends in either
"1:N:0:" (keep) "1"Y"0:" (remove). The EXAMPLE data is correctly
formatted as it should be, but I'm missing line 20.

I think you are just reading one frame shifted, its not a well
designed format because the required start character "@", can appear
other places as well....

I'm pretty sure that my raw IN files are all good, its hard to be sure
with such a large file, but the very picky downstream analysis program
takes every single raw file just fine (30 of them), and gaks on my
filtered files, at regions that don't conform to the correct
formatting.

--CODE REMOVED--
Thanks, for the suggestions. I've never really felt super comfortable
using objects at all, but its what I want to learn next. This will be
helpful, and useful.
> for reads, lines in four_lines( INFILE ):
ID_Line_1, Seq_Line, ID_Line_2, Quality_Line = lines
Can you explain what is going on here, or point me In the right
direction? I see that the parts of 'lines' get assigned, but I'm
missing how the file gets iterated over and how reads gets
incremented.
Do you have a reason why this approach might give a 'better' output?
Thanks again.
