Hi !
Yes, you can use wildcards. However, in CHARMM, the wildcard notation to be
used is not an asterik '*', but, the letter X (note the Caps).
Also, if you have all of them same and only of them (for eg: Au_2 Au_3 Au_5
to be different), then you would mention it as the following:
For instance:
Au_X Au_X Au_X 2.5 180
Au_2 Au_3 Au_5 2.5 120
In effect you would see, Au_2 Au_3 Au_5 2.5 120.
However, if you have the lines interchanged,
Au_2 Au_3 Au_5 2.5 120
Au_X Au_X Au_X 2.5 180
then, Au_2 Au_3 Au_5 will be set to :
Au_2 Au_3 Au_5 2.5 180
hope it helps.
