Re: [AMBER] closest command in cpptraj

I was having trouble getting the crdaction commands to work, but I took
your workflow and chunked up the procedure into various parm and trajin
lines, and the script below seems to very nearly work like a charm. The
last remaining problem is that it seems to produce two copies of the solute
(resid 1-4 in this case), so that strip command down below the second
loadcrd doesn't seem to be doing anything. Any idea there?

Thanks again,
Joe


#get first solvent, strip second solvent so it doesn't get considered as
part of the solute later during closest command
parm test.parm7
trajin test.nc 1 10
strip :B outprefix noB

trajout noB.nc
run

#clear parm and traj
clear parm
clear trajin

#get second solvent, strip first solvent so it doesn't get considered as
