[gmx-users] pdb2gmx -merge non interactive

[chris.neale at utoronto.ca]

Can't you just do one of these:

echo "5" | pdb2gmx -f a.gro

or

pdb2gmx -f a.gro << EOF
5
EOF

Hi List,

is it possible to have the -merge option in pdb2gmx set to non-interactive?

I need to merge 8 copies of a protein into one definition (.top) because if
i don't do that all the chains are included into the .top-file. It is then not
possible for me (in an easy way) to include my restraints into the  
same .top file
because that would lead to a wrong order.

To cut a long story short... I need -merge in a script and there i don't need
interactivity at all ;)

Thx for your time
André
