[Bioc-devel] Append/combine option for filterFastq and similar?

[Jim Hester]

I typically use pipe() in these circumstances which avoids using any
additional storage

  readLines(pipe("cat file1 file2"))

It should work with filterFastq assuming it can read from connections
rather than just files, but I have not tested it to be sure.
