Hi everyone,<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m trying to write a script that opens a set of .pdbs, measures the distances between certain atoms, and then writes the distance to a text file for later analysis.  It&#39;s easy enough to do something like...</div>

<div><br></div><div>&gt;&gt;&gt; runCommand(&quot;distance #0:519.A@NZ #:1.Y@O4&quot;)</div><br clear="all"><div>...which executes the command and appends the info to the reply log (&quot;Distance between #0 LYS 519.A NZ and #5 X01 1.Y O4: 2.33&quot;).  What I&#39;d like to do is have that actual measured distance (2.33) be stored in a variable that I could then write to a text file (I know how to do this bit).</div>

<div><br></div><div>Thanks for any thoughts!</div><div><br></div><div>--Andrew</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>-- <br>Andrew Hagen<div>PhD candidate - Plant and Microbial Biology</div><div>UC Berkeley - Keasling group</div>
