[Chimera-users] [BUG report] in list atoms sel command

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Michał,
It sounds like you want the “writesel” command instead.  For example, the following would write a list of the selected atoms to the Reply Log.

writesel  -  itemType atom

Details:
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/writesel.html>

The command “list atoms” is to report the attribute values of atoms, for example the bfactors of the selected atoms with command:

list atoms spec sel attribute bfactor

That also puts the information in the Reply Log.
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/listen.html#listatoms>

I should probably add a crossreference from the “list” manpage to the “writesel” manpage.
I hope this helps,
Elaine
