Saving Files or Data<br />

Sources<br />

A data source, or file, can be any of the following:<br />

• A document, like an MS Word document or an<br />

MS Excel spreadsheet.<br />

• A database, like a ChemFinder database.<br />

• Any combination of documents or databases.<br />

You can save search results as a file to search<br />

through again.<br />

Saving Search Results as<br />

.sdf Files<br />

The .sdf file format saves the Hit List records as<br />

complete structures in MDL SDFile format. You<br />

can import .sdf files from ChemFinder/Office into<br />

applications like ChemFinder.<br />

To save search results in the .sdf format after a<br />

search:<br />

1. From the File menu, choose Export SDFile.<br />

The Save As dialog box appears.<br />

2. In the “File Name” text box, type a name for<br />

the file.<br />

3. Click Save.<br />

The file is saved with an .sdf extension.<br />

For more information about exporting files to other<br />

applications, see “Sending a File to Another<br />

Application” on page 377.<br />

Saving Data Sources as .dsd<br />

Files<br />

After you complete a search, you can save all the<br />

records from the Hit List as a Data Source Definition<br />

(.dsd) file so that you can search through them again.<br />

You can use .dsd files to search for structures,<br />

substructures, or structures similar to your previous<br />

search through the .dsd file.<br />

To save the results of a search as a .dsd file:<br />

1. After completing a search, choose Save<br />

Source As from the File menu, .<br />

The Save As dialog box appears.<br />

2. In the “File Name” text box, type a name for<br />

the group of files.<br />

3. Click Save.<br />

The files are saved with a .dsd extension.<br />

Saving Lists of Directory<br />

Paths as .dsd Files<br />

NOTE: Only advanced users familiar with text editors<br />

should use this procedure.<br />

You can save lists of directory paths that you search<br />

as .dsd files. You can create these lists with a text<br />

editor such as Notepad. Saving a list of directory<br />

paths as a .dsd file saves the directories in which you<br />

search frequently.<br />

To save a list of directory paths:<br />

1. Open Notepad or some other ASCII text<br />

editor.<br />

2. Type the directory or database paths you want<br />

to search.<br />
