[SOLVED] Processing of the files with numerical parts

Issue

In the working directory I have 7 files of the following name:

_MMPBSA_receptor.nc.0
_MMPBSA_receptor.nc.1
_MMPBSA_receptor.nc.2
..
_MMPBSA_receptor.nc.6

The following command executed from bash could load all the files at once:

# load all nectdf files
vmd -netcdf _MMPBSA_receptor.nc.* 

how could I load at once all the nc files of e.g. the given range or ignore some specific file?

vmd -netcdf _MMPBSA_receptor.nc.{2 .. 6}

thus ignoring vmd -netcdf _MMPBSA_receptor.nc.0 and vmd -netcdf _MMPBSA_receptor.nc.1

Solution

You almost had it. Don't put in spaces:

vmd -netcdf _MMPBSA_receptor.nc.{2..6}
