Tina,
If you're willing to switch into Python, there is an
undocumented "read_pdbstr" function which can take a PDB file as a
string variable. See modules/pymol/importing.py for the code.
Temporary files are unnecessary.
However, I'm not sure that I completely understand your
question.
Cheers,
Warren
