If you mean what I think you mean, then use the SUMMarise option of
pdbcur. That gives output like:

     Chain "A" has 505 residues 
     in 7 spans: 1-305 307-500 711-711 716-716 719-719 721-722 730-730
     0 residues have alternative conformations
     Composition: ALA 23 ARG 23 ASN 36 ASP 24 
                  CYS 34 CYH 0 GLN 21 GLU 30 
                  GLY 38 HIS 11 ILE 29 LEU 44 
                  LYS 32 MET 8 PHE 17 PRO 21 
                  SER 36 THR 28 TRP 5 TYR 13 
                  VAL 26 HEM 0 WAT 0 SUL 0 
                  END 0 DUM 0 Other 6
