Daniel,
VMD can help. You can load your pdb file into VMD and make two selections:
set sel1 [atomselect top "beta == 1"]
set sel2 [atomselect top "beta == 2"]
then write their serial numbers into text files like that:
set ch [open beta1.txt w]
puts $ch "[$sel1 get serial]"; # single line with serial numbers (1-based indicies)
close $ch
# and similar three lines for $sel2
Then, in your tcl script simply read these files
set ch [open beta1.txt r]
set atomindex1 [read $ch]
close $ch
# and, again, similar one for beta2.txt
At this point you have atomindex1 (and atomindex2) and can use addgroup, or anything you want.

My problem is related with the selection of the pulling atoms in the Tcl script using the amber par-top file. Since the amber par-top file do not has segname information is there other way to define the pulled atoms in the Tcl script that is compatible with the amber par-top file?
