Hi, thanks for the responses. I tried both, however, I was giving an error message about the "!" ?

Code:
interaction[rlmn]:/home/projects/rlmn/sommerdata/run2> awk '!/^[@+]/{print substr($0,7)}/^[@+]/{print}' MS_Pa-plex_1_tag1.sanfastq 
Bad ! arg selector.

interaction[rlmn]:/home/projects/rlmn/sommerdata/run2> awk '!/^[@+]/{if(f){f=0;$0=substr($0,7)}else{f=1}}1' MS_Pa-plex_1_tag1.sanfastq 
Bad ! arg selector.

This is the head of my input file:
