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?

Maybe - but it's not worth finding out whether a bug existed then. There's no value in trouble-shooting a beta version that is known to have other problems. Get the latest GROMACS version and install and use it. If you can demonstrate a problem there, now people will be much more interested in addressing the issue.

What does gmxcheck tell you about each of these files?

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?

    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

    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.

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

    Many Thanks,
    Lipi
