Import CDX Files From a Directory

This script searches a directory recursively and looks for CDX files. It then extracts the invidual molecules from the file and loads them into the structure entity at the root of the dataTree. This script is an excellent example of searching entire directories for specific files.

/**
 * CDX file loader.
 * Trawls a directory and all its subdirectories, and looks for CDX files.
 * Extracts the individual molecules from the file and loads them into the
 * structure entity at the root of the data tree.
 *
 * Usage:
 * 1. create a structure entity in the project explorer
 * 2. Add a field that will contain the name of the file that was the source of each molecule
 * 3. Edit the settings in the 'adjust these variables' section (the defaults are for the
 * Pubchem demo data tree in the sample project)
 * 4. Run the script
