'''read_molstr''' reads an MDL MOL format file as a string
 
===PYMOL API ONLY===
<source lang="python">
cmd.read_molstr( string molstr, string name, int state=0, \
  int finish=1, int discrete=1 )
</source>

===NOTES===
*'''state''' is a 1-based state index for the object, or 0 to append.
 
* '''finish''' is a flag (0 or 1) which can be set to zero to improve [[:Category:Performance|performance]] when loading large numbers of objects, but you must call '''finish_object''' when you are done.
 
* '''discrete''' is a flag (0 or 1) which tells PyMOL that there will be no overlapping atoms in the file being loaded.  '''discrete''' objects save memory but can not be edited.
