I found the problem.
I can do the following.

set sel [atomselect top "segid $i"]
atomselect42
>Main< (16T) 32 % $sel num
69

However, I cannot do the following.

>Main< (16T) 34 % set sel [atomselect top "name "B.*" and segid $i"]
extra characters after close-quote

Is there a way to select name "B.*" and segid $variable together?
