Hi Saikat,

This is in the user guide. https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/current/ug/node94.html.

For your selection (anything starting with C1, C4, C5, or O5), I think it would simplify to this:

name “C[145].*” “O4.*”

Subject: vmd-l: Atom selection with asterisk atom name


Dear all,

I want to select multiple atoms with asterisks like C5* C4* O4* C1*. So what should I do?


Thanks and Regards,
