Hi
Thanks a lot for your reply. I then use smiles for SMARTS.

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.
