Fasta-O-Matic was designed to prepare adapter FASTA files for Trimmomatic but can be used as a general pre-processing tool in bioinformatics workflows (e.g. to automatically wrap FASTA files so that they can be read by BioPerl). The program, Fasta-O-Matic, was also developed as a sanity check for bioinformatic core facilities that tend to repeat common analysis steps on FASTA files received from disparate sources. Fasta-O-Matic could be set with format requirements specific to downstream tools and could be added as a first step in larger analysis workflows.  The Fasta-O-Matic script also hasan  optional color coded and quiet--warnings quiet (displays only warnings  and errors only--or errors) or  verbose logging features. These were designed to draw the attention of the bioinformatics analyst to relevant warnings or errors faster even if they have grown accustomed to seeing Fasta-O-Matic output frequently. Fasta-O-Matic is available free of charge to academic and non-profit institutions at \url{https://github.com/i5K-KINBRE-script-share/read-cleaning-format-conversion/tree/master/KSU\_bioinfo\_lab/fasta-o-matic}.
