Hi James - Glad you got it working.
> chains_array = ["A", "B"]
If you want a list of chains without having to hard-code them, try the
`get_chains` command.
```
chains_array = cmd.get_chains()
```
> cmd.load('${pdb}')
> cmd.alter('chain ' + '+'.join(chains_array), 'chain=\"\"')
Alternatively, if you want to remove all the chain IDs (which it appears you
might), you don't need a list of chains at all, and can just do:
```
alter all, chain=''
```
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Jared

I have got it, it works now!
in my example the double quotes were not escaped in pymol script :-)
the only (more python-oriented) question, would it be possible to
indicate chains_array for all letters A-Z (e.g. using some python
regex, rather just for A and B, chains_array = ["A", "B"], like in my
example?
