Hi,

I think the 'hbond' command in cpptraj will do what you want. It will
automatically search for all hydrogen bond donors and acceptors within
a given mask (all solute atoms if no mask given) based on the
criterion that "hydrogen bonds are FON" (i.e. hydrogen atoms bonded to
F, O, and N atoms); the total # of hydrogen bonds and some details
concerning the average behavior of hbonds over the input trajectory
can be printed. For example:

hbond out nhb.dat avgout avghb.dat

Will search for all donors and acceptors in the solute, print the # of
hydrogen bonds per frame to 'nhb.dat', and print average info to
'avghb.dat', which looks like:

HBONDS:
  Acceptor DonorH Donor Frames Frac
AvgDist AvgAng
ILE_19.O THR_12.H THR_12.N 69 0.69 2.863 160.525
VAL_2.O GLU_13.H GLU_13.N 59 0.59 2.852 159.814
...

Hope this helps.

-Dan
