Hi Hamzeh,
	I assume you are using the script from this old posting:

http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2005-October/000476.html

The problem is that the mail list software wrapped some lines into  
multiple lines and for the script to work those lines need to remain a  
single line.  Instead of trying to fix all those things you should  
just instead download the current version of Chimera (1.6.1) and use  
the Change Chain IDs tool (in the Structure Editing category) to  
assign chain IDs to the chains.  However, if you need to have the  
script work because you are processing many files, edit the script and  
go to line 100 (mentioned in the error message above) and join that  
and the three following lines to the preceding line (or delete the  
four lines that wrapped).  A few lines down you'll see another line  
that wrapped ("print it as is") and you need to join that one to the  
preceding line or delete it also.
