Jmol now is more 'flexible' and will accept residue names regardless of the alignment of the characters. (The spec says that they must be right-aligned, but Eric says that this sometimes presents problems). This also had an impact on wildcard behavior ... if the group name is too short, a wildcard pattern will match as if there were extra spaces at the beginning and/or the end of the name, as needed. I believe that this behavior is necessary in order to maintain compatibility. Examples: select [t] # matches T, does not match +T select [?] # matches all single letters select [??] # matches single and double letters select [???] # matches everything select [?t] # matches both T and +T select [t?] # matches T, does not match +T select [??t] # matches both T and +T select [?t?] # matches both T and +T select [t??] # matches T, does not match +T] Eric and/or Tim and/or Frieda ... If you can, please confirm that this is the desired behavior. Miguel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
