Re: [AMBER] cpptraj -- doesn't like reading Amber restart files with more than 99, 999 atoms

Hi,

This is a case of me writing the restart parser based on what the file
format is said to be:

http://ambermd.org/formats.html#restart

vs based on what the MD code can actually write (I see now there are
cases in there to allow one more digit for atom #s). This is one of
the annoying things about fixed fortran format strings I guess. If you
want a quick fix just change line ~56 of AmberRestart.cpp (function
AmberRestart::open) from:

nread=sscanf(buffer,"%5i%15lE%15lE",&restartAtoms,&restartTime,&restartTemp);

to

nread=sscanf(buffer,"%i %lE %lE",&restartAtoms,&restartTime,&restartTemp);

and recompile, that should fix it. In the meantime I will work on a patch.

-Dan
