why does input file need to end in .txt

[ojziff]

Description of the bug

minor point, but why does --input have to match pattern ^\S+.txt$ Since the input is just a single column of SRR identifiers, it could be csv or tsv.

Command used and terminal output

nextflow run nf-core/fetchngs \
--input srr_id.txt \
--outdir reads \
--force_sratools_download -profile crick -r 1.7 -resume

I don't see a good reason. Was there one that I forgot about @drpatelh ?
