Selection Lists

The syntax of a selection is shown in the following example. This syntax is used in the command descriptions.

[experiment-list:]selection-list[+[
experiment-list:]selection-list … ]

Each selection list can be preceded by an experiment list, separated from it by a colon and no spaces. You can make multiple selections by joining selection lists with a + sign.

The experiment list and the selection list have the same syntax, which is either the keyword all or a list of numbers or ranges of numbers (n-m) separated by commas but no spaces, as shown in this example.

2,4,9-11,23-32,38,40

The experiment numbers can be determined by using the exp_list command.

Some examples of selections are as follows.

1:1-4+2:5,6
all:1,3-6

In the first example, objects 1 through 4 are selected from experiment 1 and objects 5 and 6 are selected from experiment 2. In the second example, objects 1 and 3 through 6 are selected from all experiments. The objects may be LWPs, threads, or samples.
