Dear vmd users,

I thought of doing something like in the script below ($A, $B are 2
selections). However "foreach {atom1 atom2} .." does not properly map
the output of "measure contacts".
I realized that by checking the output of "measure contacts" but I
couldnt figure yet how to assign that output to properly get the pair of
atoms {$atom1 $atom2}. Can somebody give me a hint how to do that ?

Thanks
vlad

-------------------trial script
---------------------------------------------------------
foreach {atom1 atom2} [measure contacts 8.0 $B $A] {
   set d [measure bond {$atom1 $atom2}]
   set resid1 [$atom1 get resid]
   set resname1 [$atom1 get resname]
   set atomname1 [$atom1 get name]
   set resid2 [$atom2 get resid]
   set resname2 [$atom2 get resname]
   set atomname2 [$atom2 get name]
   puts $cFILE "$atom1:$atomname1:$resname1:$resid1
$atom2:$atomname2:$resname2:$resid2 $d"
   unset $atom1
   unset $atom2
   unset $atomname1
   unset $atomname2
   unset $resname1
   unset $resname2
   unset $resid1
   unset $resid2
   unset d
}
