The most straightforward thing to me seems to be to read in an .rst file
and the associated PDB template file (can be made once: you won't care
what the coordinates in it are); then output a modified .rst file.
Generate the PDB file using ambpdb on your starting coordinates.

You could also parse the prmtop file for this information (that is, in
fact, what ambpdb does).

This might be a case where setting ntxo to give an ASCII restart file
(rather than the default netcdf) would be warranted. Depends on how
often you need to do this, and how much time you have to spend writing
the script. If you're ambitious, learn how ParmEd reads and writes prmtop and
restart files.

...good luck....dac
