DESCRIPTION

read_molstr reads an MDL MOL format file as a string

PYMOL API ONLY

 
   cmd.read_molstr( string molstr, string name, int state=0,
      int finish=1, int discrete=1 )

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 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.
