Hi Maxim

I got 1 2 .. 12 13 after executing the last line.

Can you share with us the result of the following two commands?

 

set sel [atomselect top "protein"]

puts "[lsort -unique -integer [$sel get resid]]"

It doesn't work, I substituted "protein" instead of "resid 1 to 10", it
failed to recognize the selection in both the cases.

.psf file for defining the topology and .dcd file for the coordinates. it
would be convenient to get all the frames in a single pdb file as processing
will be much easier.

I guess there is some misunderstanding, I would like all the frames in a
single .pdb file, that too sequentially (frame 1, frame 2...). Is it
possible somehow?

If there are multiple proteins use more specific selection text, e.g. use
resids or something else.
