Raji, Here is a perl script to do it.
The cut-off distance to flag two waters identical is set to 0.3. You can change it as you wish. Also, water residues are named HOH.

I have superimposed one structure on top of another. Now, I am interested in only displaying the water molecules that are identical between the two structures. MolA has ~3000 waters and molB has ~900 waters. There are ~330 water molecules identical between the two structures. I don't want to manually sit and delete 100s of lines or do something cumbersome like that, if I can be avoid it. The water numbering is different between the two PDB files. Is there any easy way to write out the common waters? Thanks for your suggestion.
