Actually no. Indeed this would be a useful "lazy" optimization, but is not currently implemented this way. The C++ library does in fact read the file, but the molecules go through the parsers, which means that things like kekulization, bond perception, etc. are generally done. I'm not sure why "f" and "l" aren't working for you. You'll need to do something like conv->AddOption("f", OBConversion::GENOPTIONS, number); Hope that helps, -Geoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
