[Chimera-users] Chimera Help Needed- Wring output of status line to file

[Elaine Meng]

Hello,
CCing chimera-users at cgl.ucsf.edu (recommended address for questions to ensure it doesn't fall through the cracks... and also because often other people know the answer when I do not)...

I guess you are talking about method "b" in that post?   I believe the values would also go to the Reply Log in addition to the status line.  You can save the Reply Log contents using a bit of python.  That is beyond my expertise personally, but fortunately is described at the bottom of this page on basic scripting:

I hope this helps,

How do I record these RMSD values to a file so that I can plot them? I only see them fluctuating in the status line when I play my trajectory.
