Hi Paul, I though you mean converting the .gro files to .xtc file using *trjcat *(which was my initial question), sorry about that. I see now, I just used *trjconv* to convert gro file them to .xtc files and then ... .
.gro ----trjconv----> .xtc ------trjcat----> .xtc(or trr) Thanks Alex On Mon, Oct 28, 2019 at 11:18 AM Paul bauer <paul.baue...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I think I understood your problem (or at least hope so). > The issue is that it is no longer possible to directly concatenate text > based trajectory files, so I showed a possible way to work around the > problem. > You can also go back to a previous version of GROMACS to perform the > concatenation, but I can't promise you that it will work. > > Please let me know if you need extra help to get this to work. > > @Justin, here is the change that added the check for binary file > formats: c232242c29fb3ca63c8e1027eb70477069decdd9 > > Cheers > > Paul > > On 28/10/2019 15:42, Alex wrote: > > Hi, > > Paul, > > I guess you understood the question wrongly.
