Do you mean keep the left end, or keep the right end?

What is your favourite scripting language (since there are lots of options here, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc)?

[empyrean]

i use perl.. keep the right end.. and trim the left end.. i already trimmed adapters..

[dgtnk]

perl is OK
fastx_trimmer provided by FASTX_Toolkit may be faster.

I recently used fastx_trimmer on my data and I can only recommend it.
