Hi Justin,

I am using Gromacs 4.5 beta-2.
gmxcheck with file 1 and file 2 tells me exactly the number of frames I
specified.
gmxcheck -f File1.xtc
Frames: 2175

gmxcheck -f File2.xtc
Frames: 1232

While after concatenating, it skips the frames and the combined
trajectory results in 1266 frames.
Do you attribute this to Gromacs4.5beta2 version? Is there a possible
bug in that version for trjcat?
it combines the trajectories. If you have frames with the same timestamp in both trajs it will use only one of those.

Regards,

 Dear gmx-users,

 I intended to concantanate two trajectories with no similar time frames
 i.e., both files have distinct time frames. But once I combine the files
 many time frames are skipped, details are as follows:

 File 1 has 2175 frames
 File 2 has 1232 frames


What does gmxcheck tell you about each of these files?

 I used the following command to concatenate:

 trjcat -f File1.xtc File2.xtc -o CombinedFile3.xtc

 Now I obtained in total 1266 frames instead of 3407 frames as expected.
 When I compared the CombinedFile3 with both File 1 and File 2, I found
 that it has somehow taken the first  34 frames from File 1 and rest of
 the frames belongs to File 2 i.e., the last file.

 I am unable to understand why trjcat skips the frames inspite of no
 similarity. I am using 4.5-beta version of Gromacs. I am also open to
 sharing the files, should that be needed.


There have been numerous beta versions over the last few years, none of
which
should necessarily be considered stable.  Which beta are you using exactly?

 Any possible explanation as to why I am obtaining the combined
 trajectory with skipping frames, would be really helpful.

 Many Thanks,
 Lipi
