pls2fasta not generating output

pls2fasta appears to be installed and functional, but I get no output when I run the tool against bax.h5 data...

Run as follows:

jpummil ~-->pls2fasta *bax.h5 out.fastq -trimByRegion -fastq

No output generated...

Anything obvious I'm doing wrong???

software error

Have you tried using one bax.h5 file at one time?

Edit: I think you may need to create a file list (file of file names, *.fofn) to do multiple files at one time.

    $ ls *.bax.h5 > input.fofn
    $ cat input.fofn

    $ pls2fasta input.fofn out.fastq -trimByRegion -fastq

Hey genomax! Thanks for the tip. It returns a different error...

jpummil ~-->pls2fasta input.fofn out.fastq -trimByRegion -fastq
[INFO] 2018-05-10T12:25:36 [pls2fasta] started.
ERROR, could not get the minimum and maximum hole numbers from ZMW HoleNumbers.

No idea about that one. Perhaps someone else will know.
