Trimmomatic not working correctly

[munsters]

Hello all,
I am very new to trimmomatic and running into problems. My command line is:

C:\Users\Munster>java -jar "c:\Program Files\Trimmomatic-0.36\trimmomatic-0.36.jar" PE -phred33 -threads 8 -trimlog 33_blood_log.txt 33_blood_67__brain_R1_001.fastq.gz 33_blood_67__brain_R2_001.fastq.gz 33_blood_TRSW_1P.fq 33_blood_TRSW_1U.fq 33_blood_TRSW_2P.fq 33_blood_TRSW_2U.fq ILLUMINACLIP:"c:\Program Files\Trimmomatic-0.36\adapters\TruSeq3-PE.fa":2:30:10 LEADING:3 TRAILING:3 SLIDINGWINDOW:4:15 MINLEN:36

This is what I get when I run the command:

TrimmomaticPE: Started with arguments:
-phred33 -threads 8 -trimlog 33_blood_log.txt 33_blood_67__brain_R1_001.fastq.g

What do these errors mean? Any suggestions for how to get this to work correctly? I am working on a PC and using the command window to run commands. THANKS!!!

Hello munsters,

I guess the problem is the path to the adapter file, as it contains "c:" and trimmomatic understand the ":" as a delimiter.

Try using a path without the device name.
