[CP2K-user] [CP2K:19260] Re: Read the coefficients for the wave function from WFN files, and combine them

Hi Daniela,

I'm encountering a similar issue, and I'm interested in reading a binary 
.wfn file, making some changes, and then restarting the calculation with a 
newly created .wfn file. I was wondering if you have found a way or have a 
script for this task. Any insights on creating a new .wfn for restarting 
calculations would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Lili
