Hello Jim,

I think you should look at Python (www.python.org) - available for free
for Windows and Linux.

I have used Python to automate a lot of the common tasks I do - the results
are available as GaussSum (gausssum.sourceforge.net). Warren DeLano's PyMol
is a much more advanced example of what's possible with Python.

A more everyday example - let's say you want the energies given by the lines
containing "SCF Done":

input=open("myoutput.out","r") # open file for 'r'eading
line=input.readline() # Get the first line from the input file

while len(line)>0:    # Loop through every line in the file
   if line.find("SCF Done")>=0: # If the line contains the phrase "SCF Done"
      splitup=line.strip().split() # Creates a list of 'words' using spaces
as separators
      energy=splitup[4] # The energy is the 5th item in the list
      print energy      # Write the energy on the screen (or into an outputfile)
   line=input.readline() # Get the next line

input.close() # Tidy up

(Of course, in Linux you can do this particular job quicker with 'grep'
and 'cut' - but this is not true for more complicated jobs, which is what
you want to do - to get the values of the variables and create a table)

I have never done a scan, so I don't have any example output files here.
If you try this, you can also read in the values of the variables and create
a table yourself at the end of program.

The Windows version of Python comes with a simple GUI for writing and running
programs, but you can also run programs at the command line:
 e.g. python myprog.py myinputfile.out

If you need any help, please let me know.

Noel

I am frantically searching for a simple piece 
of code that will allow me to:

Read a standard file (mol, pdb, Sybyl ...)
select an atom to put at the Cartesian origin
select an atom to put on the X axis
select an atom to put in the XY plane
Do a rigid rotation
Do sequential rigid rotations about Cartesian axes
Freeze the molecule in the new orientation
Output the NEW, transformed coordinates.

This is equivalent to the Sybyl "orient" command, 
plus rigid rotations, plus
"Freeze molecule". But I have not found a free (or even cheap) 
package that $B!! (Bwill freeze a molecule in the new coordinates 
before output.

Thanks in advance for any pointers,
Steve

Hi,

I'm running a TDDFT calc (using the TD keyword in G98, for input file 
see below) on a small silica cluster. I've done similar calcs for similar 
systems which always worked nicely, but this one fails with the 
following error message:

Could somebody please explain me what is going wrong?

Jim,

Your desired results are in your output (log) file. Extracting the
eigenvalues and the corresponding interested coordinates yield a similar
table as in the Gaussian manual (but in a row form).

You can get your optimized energy for each scan step by
prompt> grep "EIGENVALUES" your output

The optimized coordinates in Z-matrix format ( R1 R2... A1 A2... D1 D2
...) follow the eigenvalue rows. Your interested coordinates are rows in
this table.

In some cases, you may not get this table due to some kind errors. In
this case, you need to do some elaborate work. Let me know if you need
more information.


Genzo

Hi, CCLers

I am running my gaussian jobs an a cluster (g03 on Linux 2.4.18-14smp)
many of my runs now are stopping with open-new-file written at the end 
of file.

A sample of gaussian output is given here (last two lines)
-------------------------------------------------
fname=/scr/shaji/Gau-29993.d2e fd = -1

open-new-file
-------------------------------------------------

but this happens with almost 50% of my gaussian jobs, with all kinds of 
runs (optimization, frequency... ). They usually runs for a day and then 
dies. This did not use to happen before. I have been using G03 for 6 
months, but the problems started last month. So it is not something with 
gaussian itself, but maybe something to do with NFS file handling, or 
something else with the linux cluster..

If anybody has seen this before and solved it please let me know

Thanks a lot

Shaji
