Here's another "quick and dirty" ShortReadQ-fastq exporter. It's very slow...
exportFastaQ <- function(shortReadQObject, fileName) {
## dump ShortReadQ object data to FASTQ format
entries <- length(shortReadQObject)
i <- 1
while (i <= entries){
cat(append("@", as.character(id(shortReadQObject)[[i]])), sep="",
file=fileName, append=TRUE)
cat("\n", file=fileName, append=TRUE)
cat(as.character(sread(shortReadQObject)[i]), sep="",
file=fileName, append=TRUE)
cat("\n", file=fileName, append=TRUE)
cat(append("+", as.character(id(shortReadQObject)[[i]])), sep="",
file=fileName, append=TRUE)
cat("\n", file=fileName, append=TRUE)
cat(as.character(quality(shortReadQObject)[[i]]), sep="",
file=fileName, append=TRUE)
cat("\n", file=fileName, append=TRUE)
i <- i + 1
}
}
