Dump for a range of time steps

Hello,

Is it possible to use the dump command for a range of time steps.

Example:

dump 1 all custom 10000< i <20000 tens_*.con id type x y z c_peratom c_coord
dump_modify 1 element Zn S^M

I know that I could just unfix and start another simulation, but I rather not.

Thank you,
Stefan

why not? there would be next to no difference in what would be
done, particularly when doing the first run with "post no" and the
second run with "pre no post no" and the third with "pre no" only.

that being said, please check out:

dump_modify every

this would allow to use an equal style variable that would
need to compute at each (dump) time step when the next
step should be written out. it may need some creativity, but
should be possible.

Added a stride(x,y,z) option to the variable command
which can now do this, when used with dump_modify every v_foo.
