What do you think the best patch would be? I'm a bit lost, because I don't know what was discussed on the OpenBabel lists. Would this change tackle it ? if ( atom.getMassNumber() == null || (atom.getMassNumber() != null && atom.getMassNumber() > 1)) { return true; } The match is then true for all these test cases test("[C@@]1(CCC(C)=CC1=O)C(C)=C[H]"); test("[H][C@@]1(CCC(C)=CC1=O)C(C)=C"); test("[H][H]"); test("[2H]"); test("[H]"); thanks Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
