3.25.6 open

bool open()
bool open(const char *fname)
bool open(const std::string fname)

Open a file for reading with an input oemolstream. The fname argument specifies the filename of the file to be opened. The open with no arguments may be used to specify that the input oemolstream should read from standard in (std::cin). In this case the format defaults to SMILES. If an argument is used, open sets the file format property of the input oemolstream, based upon the extension of the given filename. If the file extension isn't recognized, a warning is issued and the file format is set to OEFormat::UNDEFINED. If the filename is appended with ``.gz'', the oemolstream will gunzip it on the fly. The filename-based file format may be overridden by calling oemolistream::SetFormat explicitly with the desired file format. If only a file extension is used as the filename (``.oeb.gz''), then std::cin is opened with the format specified by the given extensions.
