Perderabo, you da the man!! (of course, making a gender assumption there). That worked beautifully!! Question for you as this is the 1st time I've come accross file descriptor 3 - 1 is STDOUT, 2 is STDERR but 3? And, if you don't mind - what is the last redirection "3>&-" doing?

Thanks Perderabo!!

Asifraj - I can't use just "2> error" because then it won't also go to the screen. I want the user to know there was an error but I don't want to have to rely on them to know what the error is.

Optimus_P - while that would work for getting the errors to the screen and a file, it would also send STDOUT to the same file, which I don't want (I have a debug log that I want to contain only debug and error messages).

Thanks everyone!

Gordon (gordon@cshl.edu) [-h] = This helpful help screen. [-a ADAPTER] = ADAPTER string. default is CCTTAAGG (dummy adapter). [-l N] = discard sequences shorter than N nucleotides. default is 5. [-d N] = Keep the adapter and N bases after it. (using '-d 0' is the same as not using '-d' at all. which is the default).

[-k] = Report Adapter-Only sequences. [-n] = keep sequences with unknown (N) nucleotides. default is to discard such sequences. [-v] = Verbose - report number of sequences. If [-o] is specified, report will be printed to STDOUT. If [-o] is not specified (and output goes to STDOUT), report will be printed to STDERR. [-z] = Compress output with GZIP. [-D] = DEBUG output. [-M N] = require minimum adapter alignment length of N. If less than N nucleotides aligned with the adapter - don't clip it. [-i INFILE] = FASTA/Q input file. default is STDIN. [-o OUTFILE] = FASTA/Q output file. default is STDOUT. SEE ALSO
