Hi, I got an error while processing a SMILES string (mentioned below)
smiles= "C1C(CC(=O)C(C1(CC(CC(CC(=O)S[R])=O)=O)O)C(CC(CC(CC(CC)=O)=O)=O)=O)=O" My code: SmilesParser sp = new SmilesParser(NoNotificationChemObjectBuilder.getInstance()); try { atomContainer = sp.parseSmiles(smiles); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("ERROR: Invalid SMILES " + smiles); e.printStackTrace(); } error message... org.openscience.cdk.exception.InvalidSmilesException: Expected element symbol, found null! at org.openscience.cdk.smiles.SmilesParser.assembleAtom(SmilesParser.java:701) at org.openscience.cdk.smiles.SmilesParser.parseString(SmilesParser.java:423) at org.openscience.cdk.smiles.SmilesParser.parseSmiles(SmilesParser.java:230) I was wondering if this a valid error?
