Dear all, I found that if the white space characters are found before and not after the root ending tag, babel will not be able to read the CML file properly (even if they all represent the same molecule). Here is the command I used to comvert the file
babel -icml molecule.cml -osmi molecule.smi I have attached the test files, only the first one failed the conversion Best, Weerapong
molecule-1.cml
Description: Binary data
molecule-2.cml
Description: Binary data
molecule-3.cml
Description: Binary data
molecule-4.cml
Description: Binary data
molecule-5.cml
Description: Binary data
