Hi,

I'm trying to use ptraj and rdparm to strip some atoms out of a trajectory,=
 and then output a prmtop file which corresponds to the edited coordinates.
I start 'rdparm prmtop.complex' and type

>ptraj ptraj_water.in
>writeparm prmtop.water
>quit

where 'ptraj_water.in' is a file containing the commands

>trajin mdcrd.1 1 50 10
>strip :1-25 =
                                                                           =
>trajout water_rest restart

                                                                           =
                                                                           =
           (which strips out all but my water molecules and ions, should=
 you be interested).
The prmtop.water file I get has had no atoms stripped out of it, and is=
 essentially the same as the starting prmtop.complex file, minus some=
 comments. The 'strip' command has worked in one way though, because the=
 water_rest.i files which are output are as expected.

Is it not actually possible for ptraj and rdparm to interact in this way,=
 or have I missed a vital command somewhere? The alternative of using xleap=
 to make the prmtop files separately should work, but leap keeps crashing=
 on me (possibly because I'm using a truncated octahedral box?), and this=
 method would be simpler anyway.

Thanks
