### Usage

    condenseSampleNames(tbx, stride, trailing = "\\.$")

### Arguments

`tbx` | A TabixFile instance to parse
`stride` | How many columns per sample
`trailing` | Trailing character to trim (DEFAULT: "\.$")

### Value

         A character vector of sample names (longest common
                   substrings)

### Examples

      library(Rsamtools)
      orig_bed <- system.file("extdata", "MCF7_Cunha_chr11p15.bed.gz",
                              package="biscuiteer")
      if (length(headerTabix(orig_bed)$header) > 0) {
        condenseSampleNames(orig_bed, 2)
      }
