iterate selection, python-code

For example:

load $PYMOL_DATA/demo/pept.pdb
output=3D open("output.txt",'w')
iterate (name ca), output.write("%s %s %s %s\n"%(resn,chain,resi,name))
output.close()

Would create "output.txt" containing:

ASP E 1 CA
CYS E 2 CA
ALA E 3 CA
TRP E 4 CA
HIS E 5 CA
LEU E 6 CA
GLY E 7 CA
GLU E 8 CA
LEU E 9 CA
VAL E 10 CA
TRP E 11 CA
CYS E 12 CA
THR E 13 CA

Notice how you can freely intersperse Python and PyMOL commands in PyMOL
command scripts in order to accomplish tasks such as this.

Cheers,
Warren
