Folmer, I wrote a script like this a while ago. I was importing huge selection lists into PyMOL and it was crashing. So, I created a script to turn selection lists like, 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+101+102+103+104 into 1-7+101-104
Here's an example execution: PyMOL>fetch 1cll PyMOL>sele EE, resn GLU PyMOL>print collapseSel("EE") 123+67+114+6-7+104+11+140+45+14+47+82-84+54+87+120+127+139+119+31 If your protein has non-standard amino acid numbers like "9F" instead of just "9", this will fail, because it doesn't know how to convert a "9F" into a number. I just posted the script to the PyMOLWiki at: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/CollapseSel Feel free to use that.
