[chimera-dev] python for finding clashes

[Elaine Meng]

Hi JD,
Many (all?) options are available from the Chimera command "findclash"  
itself,

<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/findclash.html>

for example "log true" to send information to the Reply Log or  
"saveFile pathname" to write it to a text file with location/name  
pathname.

Is that what you needed, or does the information need to be stored in  
an array or variable?
Best,
Elaine
