RE: [PyMOL] multiple atom selection by atom number

[Warren D. <wa...@de...>]

Lihua, 

You're correct: 'id' doesn't currently have the capability of selecting by
range or even using a list.  However, we can probably add that behavior in a
future version.

In the meantime, you could tap Python for the task, but it will be slow:

select myrange, none
for a in range(1000,1101): cmd.select("myrange","myrange or id %d"%a)

Can you use residue identifiers instead?

select myrange, resi 100-200

Cheers,
Warren
