strip :462-999999 should work just fine; I use this all the time. Note
that ptraj outputs information on what it thinks it selected for each
command. What did the output state? If you want more voluminous
information, turn up the prnlev, i.e.

prnlev 6

in the ptraj script. Regarding selecting NOT hydrogens, I admit that this
is tricky with the current parser. The next release has a new parser
(from Victor Hornak at Stony Brook) that overcomes these deficiencies.
What I would try is to select all atoms begining with C, N, O, S or P:

:1-461.C*,N*,O*,S*,P*

You can check what a mask selects using "rdparm" and the checkmask
command,

checkmask :1-461.C*,N*,O*,S*,P*


Good luck.
