[Rdkit-discuss] GetSubstructMatches() as smiles

[Melissa A. <mel...@gm...>]

Dear rdkitters,

I'm trying to find substructures (query molecules built from SMARTS)
matching my molecules (SMILES). I found the GetSubstructMatches() method
which works pretty well returning the indices of matching atoms in my
molecule.

I wonder if there is a way to directly obtain the SMILES of the found
substructures instead of the atom indexes or maybe a way to transform the
indexes to smiles?

Many thanks in advance!
Mel
