Hi All,
I am trying to use a web query to convert a chemical abstracts number (CAS) to SMILES string using the translator at NCI. To do this, a URL is formatted like so: "http://cactus.nci.nih.gov/chemical/structure/100-00-5/smiles", where 100-00-5 is a CAS number. Going to that link will return the SMILES string for that chemical (1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene) which is C1=C([N+]([O-])=O)C=CC(=C1)Cl.
Starting at D3 and going down the column, I have several hundred unique URLs which I concatenated from the CAS number and are formatted to return a SMILES string. I want to return the SMILES for each chemical in the adjacent cells located in Col E. When I tested the following code (just for the chemicals in D3:D5), it returns the SMILES code but places them in E3, F3, G3 rather than filling the adjacent cells down Column E.
I've searched around for a solution, but am fumbling around in the dark. This is my first attempt at VBA as you can tell. Any help is very much appreciated.
