Hey ;Michael,

you can simply catch the output of a command by placing it into square
brackets:

set a  [atomselect top all]
set radii [$a get radius]

$a set radius $radii

or without storing inbetween:

$a set beta [$a get charge]

or multiple properties at once:

$a set {beta occupancy} [$a get {charge mass}]

Dear all,

 

Can anyone instruct me how to pass a list from a result?

 

For example,

set sel [atomselect top all]

$sel get radius

 

will return a list of all atoms’ radius, let’s call it list_A.

 

Now if I want to pass this list back (just for practice purpose):

$sel set radius list_A

 

How to pass result of “$sel get radius” to a variable list_A and
use it in “set radius” command?

 

Thank you very much.

 

Michael M.
