Did you do anything to find one? Did you make any effort to write one? Did you perhaps think this site was a free code-writing service? Please see "How (Not) To Ask A Question" and "How do I post a question effectively?". -- Ken	[reply]

First, (as usual) do what kcott says. Second, although I do know how to use Google, a significant amount of people that regularly visit this site won't be familiar with smile format, it wouldn't hurt if you explained it. Third, the absolute minimum you should supply if you really want any help is an example of your input and expected output. It's challenging to anticipate either of those from your question. In my experience, the amount of help you get here is proportional to the amount of effort you put in, which is a fair deal if you think about it.	[reply]

The molecular weight remains the same when calculated in any format, be it smiles or molecular formula. I don't think it's of any utility. It's better you check out some free tools available that serve the same purpose. Check perlmol, it would help you.	[reply]
