Dear all,

I would like to measure bond length with “name ** and resid **” in scripts.

vmd > set seltext1 "name CG and resid 26”
vmd > set seltext2 "name CG and resid 30”
vmd > measure bond {$sel1 $sel2}
expected integer but got "$sel1" measure bond: bad atom index

However the following command succeed.
vmd > measure bond {113 140}
11.772942543029785

I configured that the above atoms existed.
How can I measure bond length with “name ** and resid **" in scripts?

Sincerely,
Hajime Motomura
