DESCRIPTION

    Make selections matching regular expressions. Selections are labelled
    as "prefix_expression_###", where ### is the index for the first residue
    of the match. Prefix defaults to model name. combined = 1 creates one
    selection for all occurences. single = 1 creates one selection for each
    occurance (the default).
    
USAGE

    grepsel selection, expression, [prefix, [combined, [single ]]]

EXAMPLES

    Make selections for all motifs matching "ESS" (model_ESS_###,...):
    grepsel model, ess

    Make selections for the PxGY motif with prefix m (m_P.CY_###,...):
    grepsel model, p.gy, m
