[chimerax-users] Runing multiple command lines in ChimeraX

[Elaine Meng]

Hello Marie,
The filename suffix for ChimeraX command files is “.cxc”  (“.com” and “.cmd” are suffixes for Chimera, not ChimeraX).
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/usageconventions.html#cxc-files>

However, in ChimeraX, besides the filename suffix you could use the “open” command with “format cmd”:
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#miscellaneous>

I hope this helps,
Elaine
