Editing Atom name wildcard (section)

==USAGE==
The following code will restore wildcard usage in PyMOL, if it has been turned off.
<source lang="python">
# allow wildcards
unset atom_name_wildcard, object-name
</source>
'''Please note''', however, that PyMOL will then be unable to distinguish '''C2''' in the base from '''C2*''' in the sugar.

If, before running the previous command, you instead issue the following command:
<source lang="python">
# change all '*'s in names to "'"
alter all, name=name.replace("*","'")
</source>
you will be able to distinguish C2 from C2' and still have your atom
name wildcards!
