Hi,
It would be best if you gave a description of what you're trying to
select, but I will give what comments I can on the selections you have
tried. FYI section 29.2.2 'Atom Mask Selection Syntax' in the Amber 16
manual is a pretty good primer on Amber style mask expressions.

This mask is not valid and I think should kick back an error.

This mask should work I think; it should select all CA atoms not in
residues 110 to 220.

This is also an invalid mask and will probably give you weird behavior.

This is the correct way to specify the previous mask and will give you
CA atoms from residues 14-109 and 221-531.

If you can provide a better description of your system and what you
want to select we may be able to help further.
