[Chimera-users] redirecting runCommands output

[Bala subramanian]

Friends,
I wrote a small script to calculate the distance between two atoms in a list
of pdb files. I would like to know how i can redirect the message that
appears in replyobj to a text file. Some chimera commands like findhbon has
option to save the result in file. But distance command dosent have the
same.

 import glob
 from chimera import runCommand as rc


 filenames=[ fn for fn in glob.glob('*.pdb.*')]

 for fn in filenames:
     rc("open " + fn)
*     rc("distance :1 at CA :166 at CA")  # I have to write this distance to a
file.*
     rc("close all")

Thank you,
Bala
