but this is output of -oall. its not a single value?!

You are asking in your command for all interatomic distances between the groups (presumably, because you haven't shown your selection). This command won't yield what you're hoping to see and my advice does not apply for this type of situation (which doesn't seem to even match your original statement of your problem).

   gmx distance -f md2.xtc -oall dist.xvg -n index.ndx

Here, you have what you want (I assume), and the first column after the time is all you need. It's the distance, which also can't be negative because it is the magnitude of the vector length and is unsigned.

The output of -oall is a single value, the actual distance, which I
assume is what you are talking about in your previous message. You can
parse that column in any scripting language you like and

[ pseudocode, not functional ]
if (value < 0)
{
      value *= -1
}

Hi,

I want to calculate distances between fixed tube in the middle of the

and amino acids(all are same type)around it. But gmx distance gives me
the
relative distance i mean AA can be front or back( can be 0.5 or -0.5

tube) of  tube but still |-0.5|=0.5 nm far from it. How can i have the
absolute value of distances?
Would you please help me?
Write a simple post-processing script that multiplies any negative value
by -1.
