SMILES is a subset of SMARTS, so any SMILES string can be used as a SMARTS. The reverse is not true. I can design many SMARTS, which are not valid SMILES. For example [*] matches any atom. So no, as Craig said, you cannot interconvert them. -Geoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
