Open Babel command line options

Open Babel command line options are as follows. Open Babel converts chemical structures from one file format to another Usage: babel <input> <output> [Options] Each spec can be a file whose extension decides the format. Optionally the format can be specified by preceding the file by -i<format-type>&e.g. -icml, for input and -o<format-type> for output See below for available format-types, which are the same as the file extensions and are case independent. If no input or output file is given stdin or stdout are used instead. More than one input file can be specified and their names can contain wildcard chars (* and ?).The molecules are aggregated in the output file. Conversion options -f <#> Start import at molecule # specified -l <#> End import at molecule # specified -e Continue with next object after error, if possible -z Compress the output with gzip -k Attempt to translate keywords -H Outputs this help text -Hxxx (xxx is file format ID e.g. -H
