Hi There, Below is a little function (also attached) that gives you the command 'grepset' so you can grep settings using a regexp.
Use it like this: ############### example ####################### PyMOL>grepset dot|line auto_show_lines on cgo_dot_radius -1.00000 cgo_dot_width 2.00000 cgo_line_radius -0.05000 cgo_line_width 1.00000 dot_color default dot_density 2 dot_hydrogens on dot_mode 0 dot_radius 0.00000 dot_solvent 0 dot_width 2.00000 line_radius 0.00000 line_smooth on line_width 2.00000 roving_lines 10.00000 sculpt_line_weight 1.00000 trim_dots on 18 settings matched ############ end example ####################### To install: Just put the code below in a file and 'run <file>' from within pymol to get the command activated. Cheers, Zac #### code below #### from pymol import cmd import pymol.setting def grepset(regexp=''): ''' DESCRIPTION "grepset" greps through the list of settings using a python regular expression as defined in the 're' module.
