(Apologies to list, my first response was accidentally off-list)
Ashika sent me a sample, which is below. If the tag of interest is "mol.id"
(i.e. dot in string), babel hangs with
*** Open Babel Error in GetValues
mol not recognized as a property or a descriptor
But if the tag is changed to "mol_id", -m and -append "mol_id" produce the
expected results.
I (quickly, not exhaustively) tried some different quoting and escaping of "
mol.id" but got no joy. Didn't see anything with cursory read of bug list.
Best,
Phil
