I actually tried to do like that still defining chains_array = ["A", "B"] inside of pymol script and use external bash loop to loop over pdbs but it does not works ;(
#!/bin/bash # this script rename chains in pdb to "empty" chain home=$(pwd) pdb_folder=$home/pdbs output=$home/output rm -r $output mkdir $output #pymol -cQkd " for pdb in "${pdb_folder}"/*.pdb ; do pdb_name2=$(basename "${pdb}") pdb_name="${pdb_name2/pdb}" pymol -c -d " from pymol import cmd chains_array = ["A", "B"] cmd.load('${pdb}') cmd.alter('chain ' + '+'.join(chains_array), 'chain=\"\"') cmd.set('pdb_use_ter_records', 1) cmd.set('retain_order', 1) cmd.save('${output}/output_without'+"".join(chains_array) + '.pdb') " > $output/pymol_${pdb_name}.log done вт, 25 июн. 2019 г. в 16:58, James Starlight <jmsstarli...@gmail.com>: > > yes, actually it is better because we avoid looping! > and how it would be possible to use array provided in the externall shell? > > #!/bin/bash > pdb="final.pdb" > output=$(pwd) > > # array given in bash > chains_array=('A' 'B') > > # chains are cutted by pymol > pymol -c -d " > cmd.load('${pdb}') > cmd.alter('chain ' + '+'.join($chains_array), 'chain=\"\"') > cmd.set('pdb_use_ter_records', 1) > cmd.set('retain_order', 1) > cmd.save('output_without'+"".join($chains_array) + '.pdb') > " > > вт, 25 июн. 2019 г. в 16:47, Thomas Holder <thomas.hol...@schrodinger.com>: > > > > If you want to rename multiple chains at once, make a selection like (chain > > A+B+C).
