I’ve searched google and KNIME forum with no luck. Hoping someone can help!
I don’t know how I’ve been working so long and not come across this but I am losing a bunch of molecules when reading in a flat file which contains smiles strings. Here is an example from the MUV dataset
What happens when read in with file reader is the smiles imports as
1255527 MUV_692_A_12 N
What is effectively is happening is the rest of the smiles sting is getting commented out because of the hash. Any ideas how to import smiles with native KNIME nodes without this error?
Update on this… When I convert the file to the following format reordering the columns and changing from tab to space the issue seems to not happen. Is there something special about tab spacing causing this?
@elsamuel Thanks so much! This is something I had never paid attention to. For some reason when space separated that single line is not populated with a # but when it reads a tab delimited file it is populated.
Must be some standard convention that I’m not aware of.
Thanks for bringing the reason to my attention!
