[gmx-users] Re: trjconv -pbc nojump across multiple trajectories

[Pablo Englebienne]

Thanks for your reply, Tsjerk.

Indeed, trjcat is a good option. I could first run "trjconv -pbc nojump" 
on a trajectory, then keep the last frame as a trr and stitch it with 
the following trajectory; trjconv then takes the first frame as 
reference for the nojump.

Regarding this, what would be the easiest way to get the last frame out 
of the trajectory? I can think of using the output of gmxcheck to get 
the time of the last frame and then use it as the argument to "trjconv 
-b", but is there a simpler way?

Regards,
Pablo
