feature request - pass path to get.pdb

[Former user]

The get.pdb function has a path parameter where it checks to see whether the pdb file exists prior to fetching it from the databank. read.pdb calls get.pdb but sets the path parameter to tempdir(). I would like to be able to pass the path parameter from read.pdb (and read.cif, etc). I'm currently "patching" this in my own application, but it would be nicer to have it available directly.

We thank you for the suggestion but I don’t see the necessity to “patch” the function. If you want to both fetch the PDB and read it into R, just call get.pdb() and then read.pdb(). Can you describe in more detail the reason you want to set path in read.pdb() directly?
