splitpdb: splits up a multi-model pdb file

Usage:

splitpdb file.pdb template

Description:

splitpdb will take a multi-model pdb file (see below for requirements) and split it up into multiple single model pdb files. The template should include a specification of how the model number should be inserted into the name (e.g. rna%03d.pdb).

Requirements:

The multi-model pdb file should contain one or more models that have begin with the line "MODEL n" and end with a line that is either "END" or "ENDMDL", where n is the model number for each model.

Example:

Suppose that you have a file rna2a.pdb that has 10 separate models in it. The command
splitpdb rna2a.pdb rna2a%02a.pdb
will split it into 10 files called rna2a01.pdb, rna2a02.pdb, etc.
