Function Documentation

char* blFNam2PDB

(

char *

filename

)

Parameters

[in]

*filename

A PDB filename containing a PDB code

Returns

The PDB code (lower case) NULL if memory allocation fails XXXX if filename blank or NULL or if unable to find PDB code

This routine attempts to convert a filename stem to a PDB code.

All the following inputs should produce the same output of 1fbj:

  $A:[PDB]PDB1FBJ.ENT
  C:\P1FBJ.PDB
  /pdb/p1fbj.pdb
  /pdb/pdb1fbj.pdb
  1fbj.pdb
  1fbjL

The routine first removes characters from the start of the filename up to the last : ] / or . It then searches for the following possible patterns (where N is a digit and X is an alphanumeric)

  pdbNXXX
  pNXXX
  NXXX
  XXXX.pdb
  XXXX.ent

This should cover just about any filename which includes a legal PDB code.
