OK Lorenzo, thank you !
As an alternative question, would it be possible to put that loop
while renaming of the chains in the processed PBD within the bash
loop?
Here is an idea
#!/bin/bash
# this script rename chains in pdb to "empty" chain
pdb="my.pdb"
output=$(pwd)
# chain array is provided in a shell array
chains=('A' 'B')
# create several pdbs without individual chains
#pymol -cQkd "
pymol -c -d "
# I need to add loop within PYMOL over the elements of external arrays
for chains
# mb for i in chains:
cmd.load('${pdb}')
cmd.alter('(chain $i)', 'chain=\"\"')
cmd.set('pdb_use_ter_records', 1)
cmd.set('retain_order', 1)
# close the loop and save final output as 1 pdb
cmd.save('${output}/output_withoutAB.pdb','all')
"
